USD fee due in full at signing, except in Minnesota: deferred until opening and completion of pre-opening obligations. Generally nonrefundable.

  • Advertising contribution1% of Gross Sales, payable twice monthly; may increase to a maximum of 3%.

    Paid to the General Branding Fund for systemwide marketing. The franchisor does not promise advertising spending in your territory. This contribution is separate from required local spending.

  • Local marketingRequired minimum: USD $2,000-$5,000 annually after the opening campaign.

    Ads need prior approval. You handle placement, though the franchisor may collect spending or direct it to designated vendors. The manual also sets minimum monthly spending and weekly sales calls. If a regional fund or cooperative is formed, required contributions are additional to the national fund and count toward local spending.

These are selected fees, not the complete fee schedule. Review the full FDD for all fees and conditions.
