What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bath Tune Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Convention Fee is payable in advance and charged monthly. The amount of the Convention Fee will vary depending on the location of the city and venue where the Convention will be conducted.
This fee covers the registration for one individual to attend the Convention. However, the Convention Fee does not cover costs associated with travel, lodging, or other miscellaneous expenses related to attending the Convention. If a franchisee wishes to send additional people to the Convention, they will be required to pay additional Convention Fees at the time of registration.
Franchisors in many industries hold annual conventions to provide training, updates, and networking opportunities for franchisees. It is common practice for franchisees to cover their own travel and lodging expenses for these events. The Bath Tune Up franchise agreement follows this standard practice, requiring franchisees to budget separately for these costs in addition to the Convention Fee itself.
