Who determines the fees and other conditions for subsequent Renewal Terms for a Petro Stopping Center franchise?

According to the 2025 Petro Stopping Center Franchise Disclosure Document, Petro Stopping Center determines the fees and other conditions for any later granting of subsequent Renewal Terms at its sole discretion.

This means that while a franchisee may be granted an initial Renewal Term, the terms and costs associated with any further renewals are entirely at the discretion of Petro Stopping Center. This gives Petro Stopping Center significant flexibility to adjust renewal terms based on market conditions, the franchisee's performance, or other factors they deem relevant.

For a prospective franchisee, this implies that the financial implications of renewing their franchise beyond the initial term are uncertain. They should be prepared for potentially higher fees or more stringent conditions in the future. It would be prudent for a potential franchisee to discuss with Petro Stopping Center their general philosophy regarding renewal terms and what factors might influence their decisions on subsequent renewals.
