  2. Franchise Business Coach (FBC)
    • After the initial phase, franchisees are assigned a knowledgeable FBC to offer ongoing support, answer questions, and ensure accountability as the business grows.
  3. National and Local Marketing Support
    • Franchisees receive assistance from a team of experts who develop marketing initiatives, manage online advertising, and provide tools for local business marketing to enhance brand recognition and customer acquisition.

While the franchisor agrees not to operate or grant another Mr. Appliance franchise within this area, franchisees may still face competition from other franchisees or related brands under the franchisor's control.
