What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Anago's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the items detailed in Exhibits 3 and 4, which pertain to cleaning supplies and minor equipment, are not included in the initial franchise fee for franchisees who purchase programs 0 and 500. These franchisees must purchase these items separately. However, franchisees who purchase programs I through X+ do have these items included in their initial fee, and those purchasing program VII or higher receive two complete sets of these items.

This means that prospective Anago franchisees considering programs 0 and 500 should factor in the additional cost of acquiring the necessary cleaning supplies and minor equipment. The FDD mentions that franchisees can purchase these supplies and equipment from any source, but they must meet Anago's standards and specifications.

Anago does offer an equipment waiver that may reduce the initial fee if a new franchisee already possesses cleaning supplies and minor equipment equivalent to those listed in Exhibits 3 and 4, and if these supplies meet Anago's standards. The franchisee is responsible for the ongoing replenishment of these materials and supplies. Exhibits 3 and 4 list the specific items required, along with their approximate costs: $150 for supplies and $450 for minor equipment. These costs are estimates and subject to change based on availability and industry standards.
