We have also offered franchises for Michelin Commercial Service Network service centers (each, a 'Service Center') since late 2010, which service commercial trucks and provide emergency roadside services, among other things. Other than Service Centers, we are engaged only in business activities that relate to the ownership, operation and franchising of Retread Shops, and have not offered franchises in other lines of business. Other than some of our foreign affiliates (as disclosed below), and the Retread Shop operated by MNA, none of our affiliates have offered franchises similar to Retread Shops or any other line of business.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $2,500 Maximum: $2,500
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: $2,265,000 Maximum: $12,331,000
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.
