What lighting requirements apply to an Aplus premises?

According to the 2024 Aplus Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must maintain sufficient lighting and illuminated signs to provide full vision of the premises, including enclosed areas, at all times the store is open for operation. This requirement ensures the safety and visibility of the Aplus store for customers.

This standard is part of a broader set of operational and appearance standards that Aplus franchisees must adhere to. These standards are designed to protect and maintain the goodwill, service marks, trade dress, and service names associated with the Aplus brand. Compliance with these standards, including the lighting requirements, is crucial for maintaining a consistent brand image and customer experience across all Aplus locations.

Failure to meet the required lighting standards could potentially lead to a breach of the franchise agreement. Aplus franchisees should ensure they understand and comply with all operational standards to avoid any issues with the franchisor and to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for their customers.
