What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to contribute to the Advertising Fund. This contribution, known as the Ad Fee, is calculated each accounting period (one calendar month) as the greater of one percent (1%) of the business's Gross Revenue during that period or $195.
The Ad Fee is payable monthly, at the same time and in the same manner as the royalty fees owed to All County. This means franchisees must remit their ad fee along with their royalty payments each month, simplifying the payment process.
This consistent payment schedule ensures that the Advertising Fund receives regular contributions, which All County uses to finance advertising, marketing, and promotional activities designed to enhance the image of the All County system. These activities may include radio, television, and print advertising campaigns, website development, direct mail advertising, and marketing surveys.
