What This Means (2024 FDD)

Yes, according to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 6 details a renewal fee. To renew the franchise agreement for another term, a Fitstop franchisee must pay a renewal fee of $20,000.

However, the FDD specifies that renewal is not automatic. A Fitstop franchisee must meet certain preconditions to be approved for renewal.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand these preconditions for renewal, as failing to meet them could mean losing the right to continue operating the Fitstop franchise, even after paying the initial franchise fee and other ongoing fees. Franchisees should carefully review the renewal terms outlined in the Franchise Agreement and discuss any questions or concerns with Fitstop prior to signing.
