Company Information
8111 Westchester Drive, Suite 600
We were formed on December 18, 2015. Our principal business address is 8111 Westchester Drive, Suite 600, Dallas, Texas 75225. We do business under our corporate name. Our agents for service of process are listed in Exhibit E to this disclosure document. We have been offering APLUS franchises since May 1993. We or our affiliates have operated a similar business as the one being offered for over 27 years. We franchise the right to operate a business as a part of the APLUS franchise system which consists of full-line retail grocery convenience stores, with or without gasoline facilities, that offer fast foods, prepackaged foods, beverages, sundries, and other convenience store goods. You may purchase an APLUS convenience store franchise with or without a fueling station. You are not restricted from converting a fueling station to a SUNOCO fueling station after purchase of an APLUS convenience store franchise, or purchasing the rights to an APLUS franchise after initially only purchasing a SUNOCO fueling station franchise. If you choose to operate a SUNOCO fueling station, you will receive a separate SUNOCO fueling station agreement. You must independently qualify to operate each brand, and we reserve the right to deny your application to purchase the remaining brand even if you qualify to franchise the other brand. Our franchisees conduct business primarily under the trade name 'APLUS' and may acquire the right to use the trade name 'SUNOCO', and use other related service marks, trademarks, and logos (collectively, our 'Marks') and our standards, methods, procedures, and specifications as related to each franchise system (our 'System').

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $25,000 Maximum: $36,000
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $239,850 Maximum: $726,700
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
