What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 City Wide Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee fails to attend a National Meeting without prior written consent from City Wide, they will be assessed a non-attendance fee of $2,000, or the then-current fee as stated in the Operating Manual.
City Wide may increase this fee based upon the venue, level of attendance, speakers retained to speak and duration of the National Meeting. The franchisee is responsible for all expenses associated with attending the National Meetings, including travel, room, board, and wages for the participating individuals.
In some cases, a franchisee may not be allowed to attend a National Meeting, such as if they are in default of the Franchise Agreement. In these instances, the non-attendance fee is not required. Whether a franchisee is eligible to attend a National Meeting is at the sole discretion of City Wide.
