What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 City Wide Franchise Disclosure Document, the minimum monthly royalty fee varies based on the number of months the franchise has been in operation. Two different tables provide conflicting information regarding these fees.
According to one table, for months 22-24, the minimum royalty fee is $2,900 per month, and for month 25 and all months thereafter, the minimum royalty fee is $3,350 per month. This suggests that after 24 months, a City Wide franchisee would pay a minimum royalty fee of $3,350 per month.
However, a second table indicates that for months 22-24, the minimum royalty fee is $3,150 per month. For months 25-36, the minimum royalty fee is $3,600 per month, and for month 37 and all months thereafter, the minimum royalty fee is $5,000 per month. This conflicting information means that after 24 months, a City Wide franchisee would pay a minimum royalty fee of $3,600 per month until month 37, when it increases to $5,000 per month. Prospective franchisees should clarify with City Wide which fee schedule is current.
