What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Annex Brands' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, payment for interior signage for an Express Retail Center is due before opening. The cost for interior signage ranges from $1,000 to $2,500, payable as a lump sum.
Annex Brands franchisees have the option to purchase interior signage from Annex Brands or from suppliers they choose themselves. This flexibility allows franchisees to potentially manage costs by sourcing signage independently, but they must ensure that all signage meets Annex Brands' specifications as outlined in Note 5 of Item 7.
It is important for prospective franchisees to factor this cost into their initial investment and to plan accordingly to ensure timely payment and installation of the interior signage before the grand opening of their Annex Brands Express Retail Center. Franchisees should confirm with Annex Brands whether there are any approved suppliers to streamline this process.
