What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to All States M.E.D.'s 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Area Development Fee is due upon entering into the Area Development Agreement. The fee ranges from $200,000 to $300,000. This fee grants the franchisee the right to open and operate between three to five franchised businesses within a specific development area.
The Area Development Fee covers the initial franchise fee for the first territory acquired under the Development Agreement. It also covers one-half of the initial franchise fee for any additional territories. The remaining half of the initial franchise fee for these additional territories is payable when the franchisee enters into individual Franchise Agreements for those specific territories.
Prospective All States M.E.D. franchisees should note that this initial investment covers the cost of opening the first franchised business. Additional costs will be incurred when opening subsequent locations. It is important to carefully consider these additional costs and factor them into the overall financial planning for the area development.
