Restoration 1 provides a multi-tiered training structure for its franchisees, ensuring thorough preparation and ongoing skill development. The training offerings are as follows:
Restoration 1 assigns each franchisee a Market Territory, defined geographically and typically by ZIP codes or other clear boundaries. However, this territory is not exclusive.
Franchisees are restricted from marketing or soliciting business outside their assigned Market Territory without prior approval, but this restriction does not prevent the franchisor from engaging in business within the same area.
The franchise agreement explicitly states that franchisees have no territorial protections. Restoration 1 and its affiliates retain the right to operate, grant other franchises, and market or perform services in any area, including within a franchisee’s Market Territory.
