True Value Rental offers a comprehensive training program to ensure that franchisees are equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to run their rental businesses effectively. Below is a breakdown of the training components provided by the franchisor:
True Value Rental does not offer its franchisees any form of exclusive territory protection. The Franchise Agreement clearly states that the rights granted are non-exclusive, and franchisees do not receive any designated, protected, or exclusive territory.
This means the franchisor is free to operate, license, or authorize any other business, including rental stores or similar operations, even if they compete directly with the franchisee’s location.
Furthermore, the franchisor reserves the right to establish company-owned outlets, authorize additional franchises, or distribute products through other channels, such as the internet or catalog sales, within the same trade area.
Franchisees are explicitly informed that competition from these sources is permissible and should be expected. Essentially, while franchisees can operate under the True Value Rental brand, they are not shielded from internal competition by the franchisor or its affiliates.
