What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chop5 Salad Kitchen's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, compliance with the Local Advertising Commitment is assessed on a rolling 6-month basis. This means that Chop5 Salad Kitchen franchisees are evaluated on their average monthly expenditure on local advertising over a 6-month period.
As long as the average monthly spending equals or exceeds the Local Advertising Commitment, the franchisee is considered compliant. This holds true even if the expenditure in any single month falls below the required Local Advertising Commitment.
This measurement approach provides some flexibility for Chop5 Salad Kitchen franchisees, allowing for fluctuations in advertising spend from month to month, as long as the overall average meets the commitment over the 6-month evaluation period. Chop5 Salad Kitchen also requires at least 180 days' notice before implementing any increases to the Local Advertising Commitment.
