What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, if Annex Brands believes there are grounds for non-renewal of a franchise, the company will provide the franchisee with written notice at least 90 days before the 20-year anniversary of the franchise agreement. This notice will detail the reasons for the non-renewal decision.
If the reasons for non-renewal are not curable, or if the Annex Brands franchisee fails to correct any curable issues, the franchise term will expire on the 20-year anniversary of the agreement. This means the franchisee will no longer be authorized to operate under the Annex Brands brand after this date.
This provision highlights the importance of maintaining compliance with the franchise agreement throughout its term. Franchisees should pay close attention to any notices of potential non-renewal and take prompt action to address any deficiencies to ensure they can continue operating their Annex Brands business beyond the initial 20-year term.
