What must an Annex Brands franchisee do before publishing modifications to their website?

According to the 2025 FDD, an Annex Brands franchisee must obtain approval from Annex Brands before publishing any modifications to their website. This requirement ensures that all online representations of the brand adhere to Annex Brands' standards and protect the brand's image. This applies to any website or equivalent electronic advertising that uses Annex Brands' marks.

Annex Brands retains control over the brand's online presence to maintain uniformity and quality across all franchise locations. This control extends to the content, layout, and overall design of the franchisee's website. While Annex Brands may offer standard web pages and customization services, all modifications are subject to their approval.

This policy ensures that the Annex Brands brand is consistently presented across all online platforms, which can help maintain customer trust and brand recognition. For a prospective franchisee, this means that any desired changes to their website must first be submitted to Annex Brands for review and approval, potentially adding time to implement updates.
