How often must the interior of an Annex Brands Center be repainted to Franchisor's specifications?

According to the 2025 Annex Brands Franchise Disclosure Document, the interior of the Center must be repainted to Annex Brands' specifications at least once every 60 months. This requirement ensures that each franchised location maintains a consistent and appealing image, aligning with Annex Brands' standards for a modern, clean, and attractive business.

Maintaining the condition and appearance of the Center is the franchisee's responsibility. This includes continuous cleaning, periodic decoration, necessary repairs or remodeling, and the replacement of any worn-out or obsolete items with approved replacements. If a franchisee fails to maintain the required standards, Annex Brands has the right to arrange for the necessary services, such as cleaning, repairs, or replacements, at the franchisee's expense.

If Annex Brands performs these maintenance services, the franchisee is obligated to pay the full cost within 10 days of receiving an invoice. Failure to grant access to the Center or to reimburse Annex Brands can result in default and enforcement actions under the franchise agreement. This underscores the importance of franchisees adhering to the brand's standards to avoid potential penalties and maintain a consistent brand image across all locations.
