What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay an advertising association fee. This fee is paid monthly and is the greater of $150 or 1% of gross receipts. This means that each month, an Annex Brands franchisee will pay at least $150 for advertising association fees, but could pay more depending on their gross receipts.
The advertising association fee is due 10 days after the end of each calendar month, or as otherwise provided by local or regional association bylaws. Franchisees are required to participate in a local or regional association, and the board of directors of the association may periodically impose special assessments on its members.
The fees are paid via automatic bank draft, either to the association or directly to Annex Brands, at their option. It is important for prospective franchisees to factor this ongoing monthly expense into their financial projections and to understand the potential for additional assessments from the local or regional association.
