What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the equipment package does include interior trim. Annex Brands franchisees are required to purchase an equipment package for their retail center from Annex Brands' only approved supplier. The trade dress package for a standard, flex, or express retail center includes fixtures such as counters, slat walls, accessories for slat walls, carton walls, mailbox holders, cabinetry, and trim, as well as mailboxes, package lockers, and flooring.
This means that when opening a new Annex Brands franchise, franchisees must purchase this package directly from Annex Brands' designated supplier. This ensures brand consistency across all locations.
Prospective franchisees should note that Annex Brands restricts the sources from which franchisees can purchase the equipment package, and franchisees do not have the option to find alternative suppliers for these items. This requirement helps Annex Brands maintain uniformity and quality standards across its franchise network.
