What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Annex Brands Franchise Disclosure Document, the equipment package for a retail center includes mailboxes and package lockers. Annex Brands requires franchisees to purchase this equipment package from them as the sole approved supplier. The trade dress package also includes fixtures such as counters, slat walls, accessories for slat walls, carton walls, mailbox holders, cabinetry, trim, and flooring.
This means that new Annex Brands franchisees must acquire these items directly from Annex Brands, ensuring uniformity across all locations. While this limits the franchisee's choice of suppliers, it guarantees that the retail center's appearance aligns with the brand's standards.
Prospective franchisees should consider the cost of this mandatory equipment package as part of their initial investment. It is advisable to inquire about the specific costs and details of the equipment package to accurately assess the financial implications of opening an Annex Brands franchise.
