Where in the Aw FDD can I find information about discounts on the initial franchise fee?

According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, information about potential discounts on the initial franchise fee can be found in Item 5. Specifically, in Item 7 which discusses the estimated initial investment, there is a reference to Item 5 for a description of certain discounts available on the initial franchise fee. This directs prospective franchisees to the relevant section of the FDD for details on any possible reductions in the initial franchise fee.

The initial franchise fee for Aw is $30,000, payable in two lump sum payments. The first half is due when the Franchise Agreement is signed, and the second half is due within 5 days of Aw approving the restaurant site. Any discounts to this fee could significantly lower the initial investment required to start an Aw franchise.

Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 5 of the 2025 FDD to understand the specific conditions and eligibility requirements for any available discounts. Understanding these details is crucial for accurately estimating the total initial investment and planning the financial aspects of opening an Aw franchise.
