What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bath Tune Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee does not have the right to acquire additional Bath Tune Up franchises anywhere. However, a franchisee may increase their territory by entering into a franchise agreement for an available additional territory.
To acquire an additional territory, the new territory must generally be contiguous or close to the franchisee's first territory. Bath Tune Up will only grant an additional territory if the franchisee is not in default of their first franchise agreement and meets Bath Tune Up's criteria for new franchisees.
This policy is fairly typical in franchising, as franchisors often want to ensure that existing franchisees are performing well and meeting brand standards before allowing them to expand. It also allows Bath Tune Up to control the growth and distribution of its franchise network, ensuring that new territories are awarded to qualified candidates.
