We also offer, to qualified applicants, the opportunity to develop additional units by purchasing the rights to develop multiple Beauty Bungalows Franchises in a defined geographical area (the ("Development Area") in accordance with a specified business development schedule ("Development Schedule"). You will be required to sign our area development agreement ("Area development agreement" or "ADA") at the same time you execute the Initial Franchise Agreement, and you will be required to develop these additional units within a fixed time period. The Initial Franchise Agreement will count as the first unit developed as part of your ADA. You must sign our then-current franchise agreement for each additional unit opened under the terms of the ADA. These franchise agreements may not be the same as the initial Franchise Agreement that you will sign for your first Franchise ("Initial Franchise Agreement").

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beauty Bungalows Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee seeking to develop multiple units must sign an area development agreement (ADA). This agreement grants the franchisee the rights to develop multiple Beauty Bungalows franchises within a defined geographical area, known as the Development Area, according to a specified business development schedule. The franchisee is required to sign the ADA at the same time they execute the Initial Franchise Agreement.
The initial franchise agreement counts as the first unit developed under the ADA. For each additional unit opened under the terms of the ADA, the franchisee must sign Beauty Bungalows' then-current franchise agreement. These subsequent franchise agreements may differ from the initial Franchise Agreement signed for the first franchise location. This ensures that all franchisees are operating under the most up-to-date terms and conditions set by Beauty Bungalows.
This multi-unit development option allows qualified applicants to expand their Beauty Bungalows business within a specific territory, providing a structured approach to growth. The Development Schedule outlines the timeline for opening additional units, ensuring that the franchisee meets the franchisor's expectations for expansion. This arrangement benefits both the franchisee, who gains exclusive development rights in a defined area, and Beauty Bungalows, which can strategically expand its brand presence.
