What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Monicals Pizza's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to contribute to the Marketing Fund on a monthly basis. These contributions are made at the same time and in the same manner as Royalty Fees, as detailed in Section 3.2 of the agreement.
Monicals Pizza retains the right to adjust the amount of these Marketing Fund Contributions periodically. However, the franchisor is obligated to provide franchisees with a minimum of thirty days' notice before implementing any changes to the contribution requirements. This advance notice allows franchisees to prepare for any potential adjustments to their financial obligations.
The Marketing Fund is used for system-wide marketing, advertising, and promotional activities. Monicals Pizza oversees these marketing programs and has sole control over the creative concepts, materials, and media used. While franchisees contribute to the fund, the FDD clarifies that there is no guarantee that any particular franchisee will directly or proportionally benefit from the fund's expenditures.
