What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, modifications to franchise agreements, including the Full and Final Release, are addressed through a State Specific Addendum. This addendum is used to ensure compliance with state laws that govern franchise relationships and documents.
The State Addendum will modify the Franchise Agreement, FDD, and other related documents to align with specific state requirements. If a state mandates such modifications, the franchisee will be required to sign the State Addendum along with the Franchise Agreement and any Supplemental Agreements. The terms outlined in the State Addendum will take precedence over any conflicting provisions found in the FDD, Franchise Agreement, or Supplemental Documents.
This State Addendum applies specifically to franchisees operating in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. In California, for example, the California Franchise Investment Law requires that all proposed agreements related to the sale of the franchise be delivered along with the FDD. Additionally, California Corporations Code Section 31125 mandates that Beauty Bungalows provide a Department of Business Oversight-approved FDD before requesting any material modification to the Franchise Agreement.
