What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay the then-current amount for a second (or any additional) email account that Fitstop provides access to. These email accounts are System-associated, contain the Proprietary Marks, and/or are used in connection with the Franchised Business. The FDD refers to each of these as an "Applicable Email."
This means that if Fitstop requires or allows franchisees to have multiple email accounts for their franchise operations (e.g., for different staff members or specific business functions), there will be an additional fee for each account beyond the first. The FDD does not specify the exact dollar amount of this fee, only that it is the "then-current amount payable."
Prospective Fitstop franchisees should inquire about the current cost of these additional email accounts to factor this expense into their operating budget. It is important to understand how many email accounts are typically needed to run the franchise effectively and what the ongoing cost will be for each.
