What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an "Approved Location" is defined as the location or locations of the Franchised Business that are identified on Schedule 1 of the agreement. It can also be any other location that Aerus subsequently approves in writing.
Aerus requires that the Franchised Business operate from one or more Approved Locations and from no other physical location, unless the company permits otherwise in writing at its sole option. The franchisee is also required to include a lease rider, substantially similar to the form attached as Exhibit I in any premises lease covering an Approved Location.
Franchisees must ensure that they operate their Aerus business only from approved locations to remain in compliance with the franchise agreement. Operating from unapproved locations could be a breach of contract and could potentially lead to termination of the franchise agreement. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Schedule 1 and understand the process for obtaining approval for any alternative or additional locations.
