What index is used to measure inflation for fee increases for a Spray Net franchise?

According to Spray Net's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, many of the fees outlined in Item 6 are subject to increase due to inflation. The specific index used to measure this inflation is the United States Consumer Price Index (CPI). This means that as the CPI rises, Spray Net has the right to increase certain fees accordingly.

For a prospective Spray Net franchisee, this is an important consideration when forecasting potential costs. While the FDD provides initial fee amounts, these figures could increase over time due to inflation. The CPI is a widely recognized measure of inflation, so franchisees can track its movements to anticipate potential fee adjustments. Understanding that fees are subject to inflationary increases allows for more accurate long-term financial planning.

It is important to note that the FDD does not specify which particular fees are subject to CPI increases, only stating that "all fees in this Item 6 are subject to increase due to inflation as measured by the United States Consumer Price Index." A prospective franchisee should clarify with Spray Net which specific fees are subject to this inflationary adjustment to fully understand the potential financial impact.
