What is the minimum frequency that Annex Brands requires franchisees to repaint the interior of their centers?

According to Annex Brands's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must repaint the interior of their centers to Annex Brands's specifications at least once every 60 months. This requirement ensures that all franchise locations maintain a consistent and appealing image, which is crucial for brand recognition and customer trust.

This mandatory repainting schedule is a standard practice in franchising, as it helps maintain the quality and appearance of the brand across all locations. By setting a minimum frequency, Annex Brands ensures that franchisees invest in the upkeep of their centers, preventing them from becoming outdated or unappealing to customers. The cost of repainting is the responsibility of the franchisee.

Furthermore, if a franchisee fails to maintain the condition and appearance of the center as required, Annex Brands has the right to arrange for the necessary repainting and charge the franchisee for the expenses. The franchisee must provide access to the center with at least three days' prior written notice and pay the invoiced amount within 10 days. Failure to comply can lead to default and enforcement provisions as outlined in the franchise agreement.
