Number of units
Fuelify had 1 total units in 2025, of which 0 were franchised-owned and 1 company-owned.
Fuelify provides a comprehensive training program for franchisees to ensure proper setup and operation of their businesses. This program covers both pre-opening and post-opening phases to equip franchisees with the knowledge and tools required for success.
Initial Training Program Before opening, Fuelify offers an initial training program covering core aspects of operating the franchise. This includes instruction on the use of the operations manual, pricing, and day-to-day operations. While Fuelify supports this training, franchisees are responsible for acquiring any necessary professional licenses or certifications.
Opening Assistance Fuelify provides direct guidance and support during the initial setup phase. This includes help with acquiring equipment, signage, and inventory from approved vendors, along with limited assistance for site compliance with local codes. They also offer advice on employee hiring and staffing structure.
Ongoing Training and Support After launch, Fuelify continues to support franchisees through ongoing training as deemed necessary. Franchisees receive updates to the operations manual and access to guidance on operational challenges via phone or electronic communication. However, the franchisor is not obligated to develop new products or handle hiring or training of staff.
Territory Protection
Fuelify offers franchisees an exclusive territory, typically defined as a 3.5-mile radius around their location. Within this area, the franchisor agrees not to open another company-owned or franchised location using the same or similar trademarks and services. This protection is not dependent on sales volume or market penetration, and the territory boundaries cannot be altered due to population changes.
However, Fuelify retains the right to sell goods and services within the territory through alternative channels such as internet sales, telemarketing, catalogs, or other direct marketing methods. While these may use the Fuelify brand, such activities do not entitle the franchisee to compensation. Franchisees are also subject to cross-territorial protocols, particularly regarding online and group marketing efforts.
Franchisees cannot solicit customers outside their territory, although they may accept orders from such areas, provided they follow Fuelify’s guidelines. Additionally, area developers receive similar territorial protections, and failure to meet development schedules may affect future rights but not existing agreements. This structure is designed to balance franchisee exclusivity with the franchisor’s broader growth strategy.
