Does Craters & Freighters maintain a national marketing fund, and if so, who administers it?

According to the 2025 Craters & Freighters Franchise Disclosure Document, Craters & Freighters maintains a national marketing fund. The document states that Craters & Freighters maintains and administers this fund for marketing, advertising, and public relations purposes.

This means that a portion of franchisee fees is pooled into a central fund used for promoting the Craters & Freighters brand as a whole. The franchisor, Craters & Freighters, has direct control over how these marketing funds are spent.

For a prospective franchisee, this implies that while they contribute to the fund, they may have limited input on specific marketing strategies or campaigns. It is important to understand how these funds are used and what benefits franchisees can expect from national marketing efforts. Franchisees should inquire about the fund's budget, marketing plan, and performance metrics to assess its effectiveness.
