What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee with a Development Area Agreement can secure a protected territory for each franchised business by opening and operating the Businesses in accordance with the Development Schedule. The minimum number of Businesses that the franchisee has open and operating in the Development Area at any given time must not be less than the minimum required pursuant to the Development Schedule.
Beauty Bungalows will not operate, or license any person other than the franchisee to operate, a Franchised Business under the Marks and the System within the Development Area while the Development Area Agreement is in effect. Each Franchised Business that the franchisee opens will be granted a protected territory as set forth in the individual Franchise Agreement for that Business.
It is important to note that the Development Area Agreement does not automatically grant the right to open or operate in all portions of the Development Area. A franchisee must sign a new Franchise Agreement that includes a specific portion of the Development Area as the protected territory for each new location. This ensures that each location has its own defined protected territory under a separate Franchise Agreement.
