The company does not charge many of the fees that come standard in the industry. So, our “Business-within-a-Business (BWB)” franchise partners pay NO upfront franchise fees and NO ongoing royalties. Where many brands charge their franchises 2%-5% to cover advertising fees, PFSbrands flips that one around. The company banks up to 4% of a franchisee’s Champs Chicken product purchases on behalf of the franchisee in a special Marketing Development Fund (MDF).

The franchisee will then be able use these manufacturer-provided monies to underwrite approved local advertising activities designed to increase their Champs Chicken sales to consumers. Gold and Silver partner levels can also earn additional annual Volume Incentive Rebates in the amount of .5% to 5.0%.

You will not find other foodservice programs with the support that PFSbrands provides. In fact, our company motto is even “Our Support. Your Success.” We will show you that our #1 goal is to provide you with fanatical levels of support and guidance to ensure you are profitable with Champs Chicken. All of the following services are included at no additional cost to you!

Check out our ad support monies (MDF). The company contributes many hundreds of thousands of dollars on this program annually, which has been reported on by industry media.

Your Business Developer will provide you with further details on our VIR program, which can drop additional profits straight to your bottom line every year.

Throughout the year, the company releases a National Promotion to all of its Champs Chicken retailers with aggressive retail price points that are supported by case rebates on the promoted products. These Limited Time Offers (LTO’s) with their aggressive retail price points still provide excellent profit margins for the retailers who opt-in. Historically, the promotions are generating 50% or more in sales growth for the promoted products for participants. Now, the company is sending consumers (who register online) advance email notifications of our LTO’s and suggest they visit their local Champs Chicken retailer by name.
