What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aunt Millies Bakeries's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, vehicle maintenance costs include expenses for oil, grease, tires, and other routine maintenance. The FDD estimates these costs to be between $156 and $780 for the first three months of operation.
The lower end of the estimate ($156) is based on the assumption that the franchisee is using a new vehicle, which would likely require less maintenance. The higher end ($780) is based on the assumption that the franchisee is using an older, used vehicle, which would likely require more maintenance and repairs. These costs are paid to a third-party vendor as needed.
It is important to note that these are only estimates, and the actual vehicle maintenance costs may vary depending on the specific vehicle used, the driving conditions, and other factors. A prospective Aunt Millies Bakeries franchisee should carefully consider these estimates and factor them into their overall budget for starting and operating the franchise.
