What This Means (2024 FDD)
The 2024 Aplus Franchise Disclosure Document states that franchisees must maintain the premises, loaned equipment, and their own property and equipment in a clean, neat, orderly, sanitary, safe, and trash- and weed-free condition. This is according to the Franchisee Maintenance Responsibility Schedule.
This means Aplus franchisees are responsible for general housekeeping and maintenance to ensure a safe and presentable environment. This includes the UST fills and gauge boxes, as they are part of the premises and equipment used in the business.
Failure to maintain these conditions could lead to a breach of the franchise agreement. Franchisees should consult the Franchisee Maintenance Responsibility Schedule in Part III of the agreement for specific details on maintenance obligations.
