What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an Exit Associate must be in the Exit system for a minimum of 5 continuous years to be eligible for the loyalty discount. This eligibility is determined at the time of membership renewal and requires that the Exit Associate has paid their annual membership dues for those 5 continuous years.
Once an Exit Associate meets the 5-year requirement, they will receive a 5% discount of $21.25 towards their annual membership. The loyalty discount increases in 5-year increments, with the discount percentage growing by 5% for each additional 5-year period of continuous membership. For example, an associate with over 10 years but less than 15 years of membership will receive a 10% discount of $42.50.
This loyalty discount program is designed to reward long-term commitment to the Exit brand. It provides a tangible financial benefit to Exit Associates who remain active and engaged within the Exit system over an extended period. The payment of the Annual Membership is a prerequisite for receiving the loyalty discount and other benefits, such as sponsoring bonuses and access to Exit resources.
Prospective franchisees should consider the annual membership costs and potential loyalty discounts as part of their overall financial planning. Understanding the requirements for maintaining continuous membership and maximizing these discounts can contribute to the long-term value of an Exit franchise.
