According to the 2024 Red Wagon Club Franchise Disclosure Document, the Brand Fund, if established, is used to promote awareness of the Red Wagon Club brand and Red Wagon Club businesses generally. The FDD indicates that Red Wagon Club is not currently assessing a Brand Fund contribution. However, if Red Wagon Club establishes the Brand Fund, franchisees will be required to contribute to it.

It is important for prospective franchisees to note that the Brand Fund is not currently being assessed, but Red Wagon Club may choose to implement it in the future. Franchisees should inquire about the specific plans for the Brand Fund, how the funds will be used, and what input franchisees will have in the fund's management and allocation. Understanding these details will help franchisees prepare for potential future costs and assess the value of the Brand Fund in supporting the overall Red Wagon Club brand.
