The Frontdoor Collective had 23 total units in 2025, of which 22 were franchised-owned and 1 company-owned.
The FRONTdoor Collective provides its franchisees with a structured and multifaceted training program to ensure operational success. Here's a breakdown of the training provided by the franchisor:
Initial Training Program Franchisees are required to complete an initial training program prior to opening their business. This includes classroom and on-the-job instruction, which may be delivered in person or via online conferencing. The Managing Owner and one designated manager must attend, and additional participants can join for a fee. The program must be completed to the franchisor’s satisfaction.
Ongoing Training After the initial training, franchisees are responsible for ongoing training of their staff. This continuing education must meet the franchisor’s standards and specifications and may be revised periodically.
Refresher and System-Wide Training Franchisees and key personnel must attend refresher courses and system-wide training sessions as required by the franchisor. These may be held at various locations and could span up to five days per year.
Territory Protection
The FRONTdoor Collective does not offer exclusive or protected territory rights to its franchisees. Although franchisees are granted a designated Operating Territory upon signing the Franchise Agreement, the franchisor retains the right to compete within that territory.
This means other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or even alternate distribution channels under different trademarks may operate within a franchisee’s area. Additionally, there are no limitations on the franchisor from soliciting or accepting orders in a franchisee’s territory.
Franchisees also are not restricted from soliciting customers outside their own territory, including via the internet or other direct marketing channels. However, the absence of territorial exclusivity implies that franchisees may face internal competition and must rely on operational efficiency to succeed.
