In each subsequent year of operation, the cost of support for this computer software will be calculated at 0.65% of the previous year’s gross sales with a minimum cost of $1200/year. For example, with sales of $1,000,000 in any year after the first year, the cost of support for the following calendar year will be $6,500 ($1,000,000 x 0.65%) payable in 12 monthly payments of $541.67 per month. If the level of sales comes in at $150,000 the calculation comes to $975, which is below the $1,200/year minimum. In that case the cost of support will be $1,200 payable in 12 monthly payments of $100 per month. The cost of QuickBooks software you will need for your business is estimated at $115. The cost of purchasing the computer software package is not refundable. See Item 11 for a more detailed discussion of this purchasing requirement.

The vendor opportunity at Weed Man WM NJ PA
Weed Man WM NJ PA operates 121 franchised units, all under a single franchisor entity that is part of Turf Holding, Inc. The 2025 FDD does not disclose any company-owned locations. For software vendors, the addressable market is these 121 locations, with purchasing decisions centralized at the franchisor level. Average unit volume (AUV) is not disclosed in the most recent FDD.
Who controls software purchasing
The FDD lists five individuals in Item 1: John Sanders (Sole Member of Board of Directors and President), Roger Mongeon (President, and Director), Jennifer Lemcke (CEO and Director), William Shane (Director), and Andrew Kurth (Director). These are the people who control or influence software mandates and procurement. Vendors should direct outreach to this group, as no multi-unit operator influence is mapped in our corpus.
Mandated and current tech stack
Item 11 of the 2025 FDD mandates three systems: Bin Creator, Stoptimiser, and WEMMS.NET. These are required across all franchised locations. No other operational or POS systems are named as mandated or recommended. This locked-in stack means any new vendor must either integrate with these systems or demonstrate a compelling replacement value that justifies a franchise-wide change.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly known. Renewal conditions require substantial compliance, no current default, necessary modifications, a renewal fee equal to 50% of the then-current franchise fee, execution of a release, and signing the then-current form of Franchise Agreement. The renewal term is 10 years. Without YoY unit growth data or recent activity signals, contract window timing is not predictable from the FDD alone.
How to read the Weed Man WM NJ PA FDD
The 2025 FDD is embedded below. It contains the legal and operational disclosures franchisors file with state regulators. For software vendors, the most relevant sections are Item 1 (executives), Item 11 (mandated systems), and Item 17 (renewal and termination terms). Use these to map the buying center, understand existing tech commitments, and time your outreach. For a ranked target list of franchise systems matched to your software category, FranCloud can help.
