What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the New Location Fee is detailed in Schedule 3, which outlines various fees and deposits. Specifically, the New Location Fee is $100, payable when a franchisee requests to open or acquire an additional Approved Location, including a Licensed Outlet or Satellite location.
This fee is relatively low compared to other franchise systems, where new location fees can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands. The lower fee may reduce the financial burden on franchisees looking to expand their operations by opening additional locations.
It is important to note that this fee is payable with the franchisee's request, meaning it is likely due upfront before the new location is opened or acquired. Franchisees should factor this cost into their expansion plans and ensure they have sufficient capital to cover the fee along with other associated costs of opening a new location.
