What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Floors To Go Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay an advertising fee of $3,000. This fee is not paid monthly, but rather is payable semi-annually. This means it is paid twice per year.
The $3,000 annual advertising fee is divided into two equal payments. Each payment is $1,500. These payments are made directly to Floors To Go.
Prospective franchisees should budget accordingly for this semi-annual advertising expense. Understanding the timing and amount of these fees is crucial for managing cash flow and ensuring sufficient funds are available when payments are due. It is also important to note that this advertising fee is separate from any local advertising or promotional costs, which can range from $0 to $4,000 per showroom monthly and are paid to third parties.
