It started franchising in 1978 and is currently headquartered in Fargo, with additional franchise support offices in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska.
ABC Seamless offers franchise opportunities across more than 30 states, with over 80 operating territories.

ABC Seamless provides several training programs to support its franchisees in operating their businesses effectively. Here’s a breakdown of the training offered by the franchisor:
ABC Seamless offers limited territory protection to its franchisees. Each franchisee is assigned a territory defined by either approximately 75,000 single-family homes or a population of around 114,000, whichever is smaller.
While the territory is designated and the franchisor agrees not to operate or license others to operate the same type of business within that territory, it is important to note that the territory is explicitly non-exclusive.
Although franchisees are not granted exclusive rights, ABC Seamless commits not to sell franchises for a similar or competitive business using its branding within the franchisee’s assigned area—so long as the franchisee is not in default.
However, ABC retains the right to use various distribution methods, such as internet and catalog sales, to reach customers within any area, including within a franchisee's territory.
