What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must meet several conditions to relocate their unit. First, the franchisee must be in compliance with the Franchise Agreement and/or the Area Development Agreement (ADA), if applicable. Second, all monies owed to Beauty Bungalows and/or its affiliates must be paid in full. Third, the proposed new location must meet Beauty Bungalows's site selection criteria as specified in the Manual.
In addition to these conditions, the franchisee must pay a relocation fee and meet the then-current site selection criteria, which Beauty Bungalows will provide. The franchisee is required to submit proposals for the new location within three months of signing the Franchise Agreement. Beauty Bungalows will then approve or disapprove the proposed site within 30 days after receiving notice of the proposed site from the franchisee.
Beauty Bungalows also offers site selection services for a fee, as detailed in Items 5 and 7 of the FDD; however, this assistance does not constitute a representation or warranty regarding the property. These relocation requirements are typical in franchising, as franchisors want to ensure that any new location maintains brand standards and has the potential for success.
