What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay an advertising fee. This fee is paid to All County to promote their marks and system regionally or nationally. The advertising fee is the greater of 1% of gross revenue or $195 per month.
In practical terms, this means that each month, an All County franchisee will calculate 1% of their gross revenue. If that amount is less than $195, they must pay $195 as the advertising fee. If 1% of their gross revenue is more than $195, they will pay the higher amount. This ensures that All County receives a minimum of $195 per month for advertising purposes from each franchisee.
It is important to note that "Gross Revenue" is specifically defined in the Franchise Agreement. It includes all revenue derived from operating the franchise, including cash, check, credit, and e-commerce transactions, but excludes Maintenance Revenue, sales taxes collected and remitted, and customer refunds, adjustments, credits, and allowances. Franchisees should carefully review the definition of "Gross Revenue" in the Franchise Agreement to ensure accurate calculation of the advertising fee.
