What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, whether the items in Exhibits 3 and 4 are included in the initial fee depends on the specific franchise program a franchisee purchases. For programs I through X+, the cleaning supplies (Exhibit 3) and minor equipment (Exhibit 4) are included in the initial franchise fee. However, for programs 0 and 500, franchisees must purchase these items separately, as they are not included in the initial fee.
For franchisees who purchase Program VII or higher, Anago provides two complete sets of the cleaning supplies and minor equipment detailed in Exhibits 3 and 4. This could be a significant benefit for larger operations or those anticipating rapid growth, as it reduces the immediate need to purchase additional supplies.
Anago also offers an equipment waiver under certain conditions. If a new franchisee already possesses cleaning supplies and minor equipment equivalent to those listed in Exhibits 3 and 4, they can request a waiver to reduce their initial fee. However, these existing supplies are subject to Anago's approval to ensure they meet the brand's standards and specifications. Regardless of whether the initial supplies are provided by Anago or acquired independently, the franchisee is responsible for the ongoing replenishment of these materials.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider which Anago program best suits their business goals and financial situation, paying close attention to whether the supplies and equipment are included in the initial fee or need to be purchased separately. Understanding these requirements is essential for accurate budgeting and planning.
