## Fee notes
Single-unit Franchise Agreement: $50,000 non-refundable. Multi-Unit Development Agreement adds $40,000 for second location, $33,000 for each additional (3-10 total). Local marketing spend must be at least 6% of monthly Gross Sales in months 1 through 24. After month 24 the minimum is 4% of Gross Sales in a calendar year that follows a year in which the Minimum Gross Sales Requirements were met ($750,000 in year 1, $1,000,000 in year 2, $1,250,000 in year 3 and each later year). The minimum is 2.5% of Gross Sales after a year with $3,000,000 in Gross Sales, and 1.5% after a year with $4,000,000. The minimum stays at 6% of Gross Sales in a year that follows a missed Minimum Gross Sales Requirement. A local marketing shortfall may have to be contributed to the Brand Development Fund.
