What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Aplus's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Aplus has been offering franchises since May 1993. The FDD also clarifies that Aplus engages in two lines of business: franchising Aplus convenience stores with or without gasoline facilities, and offering an Area Representative Program.
In addition to franchising Aplus stores, Aplus has been offering Area Representative Program franchises since April 2023. The Area Representative Program is offered under a separate franchise disclosure document.
It is important to note that the Aplus FDD specifically contains information for the operation of Aplus convenience stores only. If a prospective franchisee is interested in the Area Representative Program, they will receive a separate franchise disclosure document and sign a separate area representative agreement.
