Under what condition can a Craters & Freighters franchisee advertise outside of their territory?

According to Craters & Freighters' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may not advertise outside their designated territory without prior approval from the franchisor. This approval can be withheld at Craters & Freighters' sole discretion.

Each franchisee is obligated to spend a minimum amount on advertising and promotion within their territory, referred to as the "Individual Advertising Expense." This expense is the greater of $6,000 or 1% of the franchisee's Adjusted Gross Sales from the previous calendar year, but it will not exceed $18,000. This spending is in addition to the mandatory contributions to the Marketing Fund.

Craters & Freighters retains control over brand marketing and may deny permission for advertising outside of a franchisee's territory. This policy ensures consistent brand messaging and prevents potential conflicts between franchisees operating in adjacent territories. Franchisees should discuss their advertising plans with Craters & Freighters to ensure compliance and explore opportunities for cooperative advertising efforts.
