What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchised Business must be operated out of one or more Approved Locations. These locations must be approved by Aerus. Operation from any other physical location is prohibited unless Aerus provides written permission. Additionally, any premises lease covering an Approved Location must include a Lease Rider in the form attached to the Franchise Agreement.
This requirement ensures that Aerus maintains control over the brand's image and service standards. By mandating operation from Approved Locations, Aerus can ensure that each outlet meets its standards for appearance, functionality, and customer experience. The Lease Rider requirement further protects Aerus's interests by ensuring that the lease terms align with the franchise agreement.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that selecting and securing an appropriate location is a critical first step. The franchisee will need to work closely with Aerus to identify and approve a location that meets the brand's criteria. Furthermore, the franchisee must ensure that the lease agreement includes the necessary Lease Rider to comply with Aerus's requirements. Failure to operate from an Approved Location or to include the Lease Rider could result in a breach of the franchise agreement.
