Who bears the cost and expense for the Byrider franchise's panel on any pylon/monument/directory sign?

According to Byrider's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for the costs associated with signage. Specifically, the franchisee bears the sole cost and expense for the panel on any pylon, monument, or directory sign for the development in which the premises is located. The franchisee is also responsible for installing a standard sign on the panel, as approved by Byrider, including the Byrider logo.

This means that a prospective Byrider franchisee needs to factor in the expenses for signage when considering the overall investment. These costs can include the panel itself, the standard sign, installation fees, and any required approvals from Byrider. It is important for the franchisee to understand the specific signage requirements and associated costs to accurately budget for the franchise.

This arrangement is fairly typical in franchising, where franchisees often bear the costs of local advertising and signage to promote their specific location, while adhering to the franchisor's brand standards. Byrider maintains control over the sign's appearance through its approval process, ensuring brand consistency across all franchise locations. The franchisee benefits by having a recognizable sign that attracts customers, but they must also be prepared to cover the expenses involved.
