Selected fees
The minimum starts the first full month after opening or 12 months after signing, whichever is earlier. It is waived until opening if you are locating a site with the real estate team or signed a lease with its assistance. Weekly payment is due Monday for the prior week, or the next banking day.
The fund rate may rise to 3% on 60 days' written notice. Payment is due on the fifth for the prior month, or the next banking day. Local spending is separate. If a local advertising cooperative exists or is established, participation is required, with contributions capped at 2% of monthly Gross Revenue.
The investment includes a $25,000 opening plan for advertising and community outreach, from lease signing, up to 120 days before opening, through 180 days after opening. A pre-opening spending minimum may be set. Use required vendors and approved plans. Local spending is separate from fund contributions; shortfalls may be collected into the fund or spending handled by the franchisor.
These are selected fees, not the complete fee schedule. Review the full FDD for all fees and conditions.
