What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the Authorized Location for the Aira Fitness Business is not known when the Franchise Agreement is signed, the franchisee has 90 days from the Effective Date of the agreement to acquire an acceptable site. At that point, the franchisee authorizes Aira Fitness to insert the Authorized Location on the Summary Page.
The franchisee must identify a site that meets Aira Fitness's site selection criteria and is located within the Preliminary Designated Area identified in the Summary Page. The franchisee is restricted from using the Aira Fitness Business premises or Authorized Location for any purpose other than operating the Aira Fitness Business during the term of the agreement.
This stipulation ensures that franchisees promptly secure a suitable location, aligning with Aira Fitness's standards and designated area. Failure to secure a location within the specified timeframe could potentially lead to a breach of the agreement. This also protects the franchisor by ensuring the franchisee is actively working to open their Aira Fitness location.
