What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the fee for GPS tracking is $8 per vehicle per month. This fee is part of a larger category of fees paid to suppliers, which also includes a range from $35 for up to 5 vehicles per month.
This means that if a franchisee has more than 5 vehicles, they will pay $8 per vehicle for GPS tracking. For example, a franchisee with 10 vehicles would pay $80 per month for GPS tracking. This fee is in addition to other technology and software fees that Bombs Away franchisees are required to pay.
It is important to note that these fees are subject to change, and Bombs Away has the right to require franchisees to use designated third-party vendors and suppliers. These vendors may bill franchisees directly, or Bombs Away may collect payment for these vendors, potentially including a markup or administrative charge. Franchisees should confirm with Bombs Away whether there are any other fees associated with GPS tracking.
