What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floors To Go Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay an annual advertising fee of $3,000. This fee is intended to promote the franchisee's membership within their territory. The fee is payable semi-annually, with two payments of $1,500 each. Floors To Go uses these advertising fees solely to develop and produce advertising programs and materials that promote the products and services offered by its members. These programs are designed for system-wide use and not for marketing individual showrooms.
Floors To Go offers a temporary reprieve from the advertising fee for new franchisees. Specifically, franchisees are not required to pay the advertising fee for the first three months following the effective date of their franchise agreement. Consequently, the advertising fee for the first year is prorated to reflect this initial three-month exemption.
Floors To Go retains the right to adjust the advertising fee based on the evolving advertising needs of the Floors To Go system. Any such changes to the fee will be applied reasonably and uniformly across all franchisees. This ensures that all franchisees contribute equitably to the advertising efforts, and that the advertising strategies remain responsive to the overall needs of the franchise system.
