What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 1 800 Packouts's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the monthly National/Regional Opportunity Protection (NROP) fee for months 15-16 of the franchise agreement is $1,000 per month. This fee is part of an escalating structure tied to the duration of the agreement.
Specifically, the NROP fee starts at $0 for the first 12 months, then increases to $500 per month for months 13-14, and then to $1,000 per month for months 15-16. After this, it rises to $1,500 per month for months 17-18, and finally settles at $2,000 per month for month 19 and all subsequent months. This escalating fee structure means that franchisees will face increasing monthly costs as their franchise matures.
It's important to note that the NROP fee can also increase if the population in the franchisee's territory exceeds 1,000,000 people. If the population exceeds 1,000,000 during the term of the agreement, the NROP fee will increase at a rate of $500 per month for each 250,000 people. For example, a population between 1,000,001 and 1,250,000 would result in a $2,500 per month NROP fee. This population-based increase is separate from the standard monthly increase based on the agreement's duration. A prospective franchisee should carefully consider the population of their territory and the potential for population growth when evaluating the financial implications of this fee.
