What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must provide written notice to Aerus of their desire to renew the franchise at least thirty (30) days before the end of the initial term. This notification is a prerequisite for renewing the franchise for an additional term.
In practical terms, this means a franchisee needs to mark their calendar and proactively inform Aerus of their intent well in advance. Failing to provide this notice within the specified timeframe could result in the franchisee losing their renewal option, even if they meet all other requirements. This is a fairly standard notification period in franchising, designed to give the franchisor ample time to assess the franchisee's performance and make plans for the future of the location.
Besides providing the written notice at least thirty days prior to the end of the initial term, the franchisee must also meet other conditions to be eligible for renewal. These conditions include having no uncured events of default, achieving a minimum gross sales target of $10,000 per month for the six months prior to renewal, executing Aerus's current franchise agreement, paying a renewal fee of $100, and executing a general release of claims against Aerus.
