Number of units
Disc Replay had 29 total units in 2023, of which 29 were franchised-owned and 0 company-owned.
Disc Replay offers a multi-phase training program to ensure franchisees and their managers are equipped to operate a successful outlet. The training is both foundational and ongoing to support franchise operations over time.
Initial Training Program Franchisees and a designated manager must attend a five-day training program at a Disc Replay or Super Mega Replay location. This training covers operational systems, hiring, customer service, sales, accounting, and practical outlet experience. Additional trainees beyond the required two are subject to the franchisor’s current training fee.
Ongoing Training and Annual Conferences Franchisees are required to attend annual conferences organized by the franchisor. These events focus on industry trends, sales techniques, personnel management, and operational standards. Conference attendance may incur fees and travel expenses.
Opening Assistance The franchisor provides on-site support during the outlet’s opening, aiding in applying training knowledge in real-time. This ensures that franchisees are properly set up to implement system standards from the start.
Territory Protection
Disc Replay offers franchisees a defined "Protected Territory," within which no other Disc Replay, Mega Replay, or Super Mega Replay outlet will be operated or franchised. The territory typically spans a four-mile radius in urban areas or a ten-mile radius in rural areas.
These boundaries are fixed and will not be changed without written consent from the franchisor, regardless of population shifts. However, the protection is not all-encompassing.
Disc Replay reserves the right to sell similar products and services through alternative channels such as the Internet, catalogs, or direct marketing, even within a franchisee’s territory. Franchisees are not allowed to independently market online or conduct e-commerce, as the franchisor exclusively controls those channels.
