What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Belocal's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Design Revision Fee ranges from $30 to $80, depending on the number of annotations. Specifically, the fee is currently $30 for over 15 annotations and $80 for over 45 annotations. This fee is incurred as needed and is linked to the number of design revisions a franchisee requests.
The number of design revisions requested through annotations is typically between 3-4 per issue. This suggests that franchisees may not always incur the Design Revision Fee, as the typical number of annotations falls below the threshold for the fee to apply. However, franchisees should be aware of this potential cost, especially if they anticipate needing more extensive design revisions.
Belocal retains the right to change certain flat fees, including the Design Revision Fee. There is a cap on the total increase to this fee during the term of the Franchise Agreement. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the specifics of this cap to understand the potential for future increases in the Design Revision Fee and how it could impact their overall costs.
