We do not provide you with assistance in selecting or securing your Franchised Location; with conforming your Franchised Location to local ordinances and building codes; with obtaining any required permits; with constructing, remodeling, or decorating the Franchised Location; or hiring and training your employees. We do not generally own or lease your Franchised Location to you.
We require you to operate the Franchised Business exclusively from the location set forth in the Franchise Agreement (the “Franchised Location”). Your Franchised Location must be located anywhere within your Territory. We estimate that you will need a minimum of 300 - 400 square feet. In addition to the rent you will be required to pay, the cost to lease space will depend upon the amount of any deposit you must pay in connection with the rental, build-out costs, or pre-paid rent that the landlord may require. You may relocate your Franchised Location to another location within your Territory only after providing prior written notice to us and at your sole cost and expense. We do not provide you with assistance in selecting or securing your Franchised Location, and we do not approve your Franchised Location.
