When are City Wide franchisees required to deliver the quarterly local advertising report?

According to City Wide's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must deliver a quarterly local advertising report to City Wide no later than fifteen days after the end of each of the franchisee's fiscal quarters. This report should detail the local advertising funds spent by the franchisee during the preceding quarter.

This requirement ensures that City Wide has oversight of how franchisees are utilizing local advertising funds and that these funds are being used in a manner consistent with the brand's overall marketing strategy. The report must be submitted on a form approved by City Wide, and franchisees must also provide any supporting materials requested by City Wide.

For a prospective franchisee, this means maintaining accurate records of all local advertising expenditures and adhering to the reporting schedule. Failure to submit the report on time or in the required format could potentially lead to issues with City Wide and may constitute a breach of the franchise agreement. Franchisees should familiarize themselves with the specific requirements for the local advertising report as outlined in the Operating Manual and any additional guidelines provided by City Wide.
