What does the Aw renewal fee cover?

According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee meets specific requirements and wishes to renew their franchise for an additional 10-year term, Aw charges a renewal fee of $2,500.00. This fee covers the services Aw renders and the expenses it incurs while processing the renewal.

To be eligible for renewal, the franchisee must substantially comply with all provisions of the existing franchise agreement and any other agreements with Aw. They must also maintain possession of the premises or secure an approved substitute location if the original premises are unavailable or deemed unsuitable by Aw. Furthermore, franchisees and their owners must meet Aw's then-current training requirements and attend any necessary training classes.

This renewal process highlights the importance of maintaining a good relationship with Aw and adhering to the franchise agreement's terms. The $2,500 renewal fee is relatively modest compared to the initial franchise fee, but it's essential to factor it into long-term financial planning. Franchisees should also be prepared to meet any updated training requirements and potentially adapt to new standards or specifications imposed by Aw at the time of renewal.
