What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Ad Fee is payable monthly. The Ad Fee is due each Accounting Period, which is defined as one calendar month. The payment is required at the same time and in the same manner as the Royalty fees.
The Ad Fee is calculated as the greater of one percent (1%) of the Gross Revenue the Business derived during the respective Accounting Period or One Hundred Ninety Five Dollars ($195). This means that franchisees will pay either 1% of their gross revenue for the month or $195, whichever is higher, ensuring a minimum contribution to the Advertising Fund.
The Advertising Fund is controlled by All County and is used for advertising, marketing, and promotional activities to promote All County businesses. All County has the right to defer or reduce contributions of an All County business franchisee and, upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, to reduce or suspend your payment of Ad Fees to and suspend operations of the Advertising Fund for one or more periods of any length and to terminate (and if terminated to reinstate) the Advertising Fund.
