What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aira Fitness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee needs prior written consent from Aira Fitness to relocate their business. Aira Fitness will grant authority to relocate if the relocation is due to condemnation, destruction, or the expiration/cancellation of the lease for reasons other than the franchisee's breach. In these cases, the new site must be acceptable to Aira Fitness, located within the franchisee's Designated Area, suitable for an Aira Fitness Business, and not infringe on the rights of other Aira Fitness franchisees. The new Aira Fitness Business must be open and operating within sixty days after discontinuing operation at the previous location, following Aira Fitness's current standards.
If a franchisee voluntarily decides to relocate, their right to relocate will be void, and their interest in the Franchise Agreement will be voluntarily abandoned. However, this can be avoided if the franchisee provides notice of their intent to relocate at least sixty days before closing the Aira Fitness Business, secures a site within their Designated Area that Aira Fitness approves fifteen days before closure, opens the new Aira Fitness Business within 24 hours of closing the old one, and complies with any other conditions Aira Fitness reasonably requires.
The franchisee is responsible for covering all relocation costs, and Aira Fitness reserves the right to charge the franchisee for any reasonable costs incurred during the relocation. Upon relocation, Aira Fitness may modify the franchisee's Designated Area to account for neighboring Aira Fitness Businesses and other factors. If the Aira Fitness Business is destroyed or damaged, but not relocated, the franchisee must repair and reopen at the Authorized Location within twenty days of the incident, following Aira Fitness's standards for the damaged area, or within a longer period if reasonably determined by Aira Fitness.
