Does the Petro Stopping Center Franchise Disclosure Document include a copy of the Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Petro Stopping Center Franchise Disclosure Document, whether or not a copy of the Franchise Agreement is included depends on the state. The disclosure includes the statement that "THE CALIFORNIA FRANCHISE INVESTMENT LAW REQUIRES THAT A COPY OF ALL PROPOSED AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE SALE OF THE FRANCHISE BE DELIVERED TOGETHER WITH THE DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT." This indicates that in California, a copy of all proposed agreements, including the Franchise Agreement, must be delivered with the disclosure document.

Additionally, the document includes "ADDENDUM FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA, HAWAII, INDIANA, MARYLAND, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, NEW YORK, NORTH DAKOTA, RHODE ISLAND, SOUTH DAKOTA, VIRGINIA, WASHINGTON AND WISCONSIN." This suggests that franchisees in these states may receive state-specific addenda to the franchise agreement, which would be included with the disclosure document.

Prospective franchisees should confirm with Petro Stopping Center whether the Franchise Agreement and any state-specific addenda are included in the disclosure document for their specific state to ensure they have all the necessary information before making a decision.
