What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Petro Stopping Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the current advertising fee is $3,000 per month. This fee is payable on the first full calendar month after opening the franchise and continues monthly, billed via electronic funds transfer.
Each calendar year, this monthly advertising fee will be increased based on the CPI Adjustment. However, the FDD specifies that the monthly advertising fee will never be less than the then-current monthly advertising fee.
For a prospective Petro Stopping Center franchisee, this means budgeting at least $3,000 per month for advertising, with the understanding that this amount is subject to increase annually based on the CPI. It is important to note that while the fee can increase, it will not decrease below the current level.
