What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aerus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee must operate the franchised business from one or more approved locations. However, Aerus may permit the franchisee to operate from another physical location if Aerus provides written permission at its sole option.
Additionally, franchisees have the right to offer and sell products to approved customers within their area of responsibility. These offers and sales can be made through the approved location or from in-home or in-person demonstrations conducted within the Area of Responsibility.
This means that while franchisees are generally restricted to operating from approved locations, Aerus retains the discretion to allow operation from other locations via written approval. Franchisees can also conduct sales activities such as in-home demonstrations within their designated territory.
