What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Petro Stopping Center does not explicitly define "Non-QSR Gross Sales." However, it does define "QSR Gross Sales" as all gross sales derived from a nationally or regionally branded quick service restaurant operated at the Petro Center for which the franchisee is required to make royalty payments to a third party.
Given this definition of "QSR Gross Sales," it can be inferred that "Non-QSR Gross Sales" would encompass all other gross sales that are not derived from such quick service restaurants. This would include sales from the Petro Stopping Center's convenience store, full-service restaurant, truck repair services, motor fuel, and other compatible services.
A prospective franchisee should seek clarification from Petro Stopping Center on the precise scope of "Non-QSR Gross Sales" to fully understand how their royalty and administrative fees will be calculated. Understanding this distinction is crucial for accurately forecasting revenue and expenses.
