What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor offers advice regarding the negotiation of the lease or purchase of a location for your Beauty Bungalows Franchise, which will be leased or purchased by you from independent third parties. Beauty Bungalows does not own premises that are then leased to you. The franchisor is not acting as your direct representative or attorney in lease negotiations, and their assistance in no way constitutes a representation or warranty with respect to the lease or purchase.
Before opening a Beauty Bungalows franchise, franchisees must secure a site that Beauty Bungalows has approved by signing a lease or purchase agreement within ninety (90) days of the date of the Franchise Agreement. Beauty Bungalows may extend the deadline for acquisition of a Site by 90 days in their sole discretion, and they may require you to pay a $2,500 extension fee and execute a general release as a condition of them agreeing to grant such extension. The site must meet Beauty Bungalows's minimum requirements as set forth in the Manuals for square footage, layout, visibility, and other factors that they may determine from time to time.
Beauty Bungalows requires franchisees to use preferred marketing vendors for their pre-opening marketing spend. Franchisees must spend between $20,000 and $22,000 on approved advertising and marketing with Beauty Bungalows's preferred marketing vendors during the 5 months prior to the grand opening date. In addition to that amount, $2,000 should be directed to advertising and event promotions during the week of the grand opening of your Beauty Bungalows Franchise. Franchisees must provide Beauty Bungalows with sufficient evidence to show they have spent the minimum Pre-Opening Marketing Spend amounts. Beauty Bungalows may permit franchisees to reduce the amount of their Pre-Opening Marketing Spend if they have at least 75% of their suites booked prior to opening their Beauty Bungalows Franchise.
