Certified Restoration DryCleaning Network (CRDN) delivers a structured and multi-phase training program for franchisees to ensure they meet operational standards and understand the franchise system.
Certified Restoration DryCleaning Network (CRDN) assigns each franchisee a specific "Franchise Territory," typically defined by political or geographical boundaries such as counties, zip codes, or census tracts. This territory is detailed in Exhibit A of the Franchise Agreement.
While CRDN grants the right to operate within this defined territory, the agreement clearly states that it is not exclusive, and the franchisor retains the right to perform services or establish other operations within the same area under specific limitations.
Franchisees are prohibited from marketing outside their assigned territory unless they receive explicit written permission from CRDN or the relevant territory owner. CRDN may also allow other franchisees to operate facilities within a given territory, provided those franchisees also respect marketing and service boundaries.
