What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bath Tune Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not required to establish a showroom. However, if a franchisee is approved to establish a showroom, it must be located within the territory. The showroom must comply with Bath Tune Up's written specifications and other requirements as set forth in the manuals. The franchisee must obtain Bath Tune Up's prior written approval and enter into their then-current showroom addendum.
Bath Tune Up does not assist franchisees in selecting a showroom site. Bath Tune Up has 14 days to indicate their approval or disapproval of a showroom site. Bath Tune Up requires that the showroom be located at least one mile within the borders of the territory. Bath Tune Up does not provide assistance with obtaining equipment, signs, fixtures, opening inventory, and supplies.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review the manuals and showroom addendum to understand the specific requirements for establishing and maintaining a showroom. Franchisees should also consider the costs associated with establishing a showroom, including rent, utilities, and inventory. Because Bath Tune Up does not provide assistance with site selection or obtaining equipment, franchisees will need to independently manage these aspects of setting up a showroom.
