If you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, you should report it to the franchisor's management by contacting John Rayyan at 8 McGlashen Drive, South Barrington, IL 60010, phone: 847-322-5666, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Aw does not make any representations about a franchisee's future financial performance, nor does it authorize employees or representatives to do so either orally or in writing. The FDD states that if you are purchasing an existing outlet, Aw may provide you with the actual records of that outlet.
However, if you receive any other financial performance information or projections of your future income, the 2025 FDD instructs you to report it to multiple parties. These parties include Aw's management by contacting John Rayyan at 8 McGlashen Drive, South Barrington, IL 60010, phone: 847-322-5666, the Federal Trade Commission, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies.
This requirement to report unauthorized financial performance representations is in place to protect prospective franchisees. Franchisees should be wary of any income projections not included in Item 19 of the FDD and should report them as directed to ensure transparency and compliance with franchise regulations.
