Mr. Rooter Franchise offers comprehensive training programs to support its franchise owners:
Mr. Rooter Franchise provides its franchisees with a designated territory that offers limited territorial protection. This means that, as long as franchisees comply fully with their Franchise Agreement, the franchisor will not operate or grant another Mr. Rooter franchise within that specified area during the agreement's term.
The designated territory typically encompasses a population ranging from 100,000 to 300,000, with adjustments possible based on factors like population density or economic conditions.
It's important to note that this arrangement does not grant exclusive territorial rights beyond the designated area. Franchisees maintain rights to their territory even if the population increases over time.
