What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Mr. Sandless's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Advertising Fund contribution, which is 1% of Gross Sales, is due at the same time and in the same manner as the Royalty Fee. The Royalty Fee is due monthly, not later than the 15th day of each month.
Specifically, Mr. Sandless franchisees must pay their Advertising Fund contribution based on the previous calendar month's Gross Sales. If the 15th of the month falls on a non-business day, the payment is due on the next business day.
This synchronized payment schedule simplifies the administrative tasks for franchisees, allowing them to manage both fees with a single payment each month. Franchisees should be aware of the monthly deadline and ensure timely payments to avoid any potential late fees or penalties.
