Where can I find the definition of 'Minimum Monthly Royalty Fee' for an Aplus franchise, and where is it further described?

According to Aplus's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the definition of 'Minimum Monthly Royalty Fee' can be found in Section 3.3, and it is further described in Attachment 1. Section 3.3 indicates that if the Royalty Fee paid is less than the Minimum Monthly Royalty Fee, the franchisee must pay the difference to Aplus.

For a prospective Aplus franchisee, this means that even if their gross sales in a particular month do not generate a Royalty Fee equal to or greater than the Minimum Monthly Royalty Fee, they are still obligated to pay the difference. This ensures that Aplus receives a baseline royalty amount regardless of the store's monthly performance.

Attachment 1, which is referenced in the definition, likely contains specific details regarding the amount of the Minimum Monthly Royalty Fee, how it is calculated, and when it is payable. It is crucial for potential franchisees to carefully review Attachment 1 to fully understand their financial obligations to Aplus.
