The vendor opportunity at Fully Promoted
305 Fully Promoted locations run under the 2026 FDD, 100% franchised, within United Franchise Group's Starpoint Brands division, alongside affiliated brands including Signarama and Transworld Business Advisors. Florida leads with 25 locations, followed by Texas (24) and California (16), among 219 mapped operators, all single-unit. Franchised outlets grew 5.9% year over year. Item 19 sets a $576,721 figure for the cohort of 112 US stores open a full year or more as of December 31, 2025 that reported a full twelve months of 2025 sales.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 8 requires franchisees to use an approved vendor for their electronic point-of-sale system — one of which is currently AIM, provided by Aim Smarter, LLC — and to buy Business Management System software maintenance services from the franchisor or its designated supplier, currently the only approved source for that maintenance. That is a corporate-set requirement. CEO and Chairman Ray Titus and CFO Todd Newton head the officer roster in Item 2, alongside President Andrew Titus and COO Brady Lee.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Beyond the approved point-of-sale vendor and BMS maintenance, franchisees hold continuing subscriptions for Business Management (point-of-sale) Software, Promotional Product Sourcing Software, and Lead Generation Software, with the vendors behind each required to host and update them. The required equipment package also includes a one-year CareerPlug hiring and recruiting subscription.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 requires at least 80% of products and store supplies in specified categories — including clothing, promotional products, and digital marketing services — to come from approved suppliers. The equipment package and BMS maintenance must come from the franchisor or its designee, and website hosting and merchant services have no alternate source; payroll, insurance, and financing allow a vendor of choice, as does bookkeeping with prior approval. The royalty is the greater of $500 a month or 6% of gross revenues up to $600,000, 4% from there to $1,000,000, and 2% above that. Item 17 renewal requires full compliance, a remodel, a $1,500 fee, and a new agreement — potentially on materially different terms — for a further 35-year term.
