Franchise Description: The franchisor is Pro Image Franchise, L.C. The franchisor licenses and trains others to operate a Pro Image Sports business. Pro Image Sports retail stores feature sports-related licensed products and sportswear with professional and collegiate sport emphasis.
Training Overview: The franchise’s operating principal and managers are required to attend and successfully complete a training program. The training program is held as needed during the year at the franchisor’s headquarters in Centerville, Utah or a Pro Image Sports location designated by the franchisor. Successful completion of training must be completed at least six weeks before franchisees may open their franchise business. The length of training depends on the prior experience of the operating principal and manager but should range from two to five days. Failure to successfully complete training is a default of the Franchise Agreement. At its discretion, the franchisor can require managers or the operating principal and/or other key personnel to attend additional trainings if the franchisee is in default, or if the franchisor reasonably believes such training would be in the best interest of the franchise.

Territory Granted: Under the Franchise Agreement, the franchisor will grant franchisees the right to use the system and proprietary marks solely within a specific geographic area, the boundaries of which will be negotiated prior to signing the Franchise Agreement and described in the Franchise Agreement. The specific size of the territory will be limited to the confines of the mall or the shopping center in which the franchise is located. The written boundary of the territory will be included in the Franchise Agreement. Franchisees will not receive an exclusive territory for their franchise business. However, the franchisor will not establish another traditional franchise or company owned brick and mortar unit using the trademark within the territory.

Obligations and Restrictions: The franchisor recommends but does not require on-premises supervision by the operating principal. However, the operating principal must be the principal point of contact with the franchisor. Additionally, the franchisor requires on-premises supervision by the designated manager who must be trained by the franchisor to manage the franchise business unless the operating principal will act as the full-time manager of the franchise business. Franchisees must operate the franchise business seven days per week throughout the year or the maximum days allowed or required by the landlord (unless waived in writing by the franchisor). Franchisees must provide and sell only those products and services specified and approved by the franchisor in writing. Franchisees must buy their products from authorized licensees of the respective sports leagues or teams. Franchisees are not permitted to sell counterfeit or unauthorized products.

Term of Agreement and Renewal: The length of the initial franchise term is 10 years. If franchisees are in good standing at the end of the initial or first successor franchise term, they can enter into a successor franchise agreement for up to an additional five-year term.

Financial Assistance: The franchisor does not offer direct or indirect financing. The franchisor does not guarantee a franchisee’s note, lease or obligation.
