What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Aplus's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the exterior graphics package includes several branded elements. Specifically, the exterior graphics consist of a 10' arch, a red band, a 54x64 building sign, POP (point of purchase displays), a 7' strategy sign, and a trip charge.
For prospective Aplus franchisees, this means these specific graphic elements are part of the required branding and image for the store's exterior. The franchisee will need to ensure their location incorporates these graphics to comply with Aplus's brand standards. The costs associated with these graphics are part of the broader initial investment, as detailed in Item 7 of the FDD.
The FDD also mentions exterior graphic costs. For Non-Leased Aplus stores, the initial investment for exterior graphics is estimated to be between $16,000 and $46,000. This cost is paid to vendors and/or to Aplus, and is due as arranged.
