What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Petro Stopping Center Franchise Disclosure Document, the royalty fee for Motor Fuel Gross Sales is $0.007 on each gallon of motor fuel sold. This means that for every gallon of motor fuel a franchisee sells at their Petro Stopping Center, they must remit $0.007 to the franchisor as a royalty.
This royalty is separate from other fees, such as those based on Non-Fuel Gross Sales and Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) Gross Sales. The FDD also mentions an Administrative Fee of 0.3% of all Non-Fuel Gross Sales up to $600,000 per month. However, this administrative fee does not apply to motor fuel sales.
It's important to note that the definition of Gross Sales includes the total actual gross charges for all Products or Services sold to customers of your Petro Center for cash or credit, whether these sales are made at or from the Petro Center, net of rebates or refunds. Any amounts that you collect and transmit to state or local authorities as sales, use, fuel or other similar taxes are excluded from the definition of Gross Sales.
