What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Pump It Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company may charge a site evaluation fee of $500 per day for the first on-site evaluation they conduct for a particular franchise business. This fee is in addition to reimbursement for all travel, living, and other expenses incurred by Pump It Up during the evaluation.
This means that if Pump It Up decides to conduct an on-site evaluation of a potential location, a franchisee should budget not only for the direct costs of travel and accommodation for the Pump It Up representatives but also for a $500 per day fee. For example, if two representatives spend two days evaluating a site, and travel expenses total $1,500, the franchisee would owe $2,500.
It is important to note that the FDD states Pump It Up reserves the right to charge this fee, implying it is not always mandatory. Franchisees should clarify with Pump It Up under what circumstances the fee is charged or waived. Also, the $500 per day fee applies to the first on-site evaluation; subsequent evaluations may incur different fees. Franchisees should confirm what the fee structure is for any additional site evaluations.
