h any assistance.

Pre-Opening Obligations

Before you open your Beauty Bungalows Franchise, we will:

  1. Designate your Protected Territory in writing and approve, if it meets our standards and specifications for approval, the location selected solely by you to be used for the operation of the Beauty Bungalows

Franchise. If your site is not already known and approved by us when you sign your franchisee agreement, then we will specify in your franchise agreement the Site Selection Area in which you must select a Site. Upon selection of an approved site, we will designate your Protected Territory based upon our then-current methods of territory determination set forth in the Manuals. (See Sections 4 and 10 of the Franchise Agreement).

    1. Provide you with access to an electronic copy of our confidential operating Manual, which contains mandatory and suggested specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules. The Manual is confidential and remains our property. We may modify the Manual from time to time, but the modification will not alter your status and rights under the Franchise Agreement. (See Section 7.04 of the Franchise Agreement). We have included a copy of the Table of Contents of our Manual as Exhibit F to this Disclosure Document. The Manual currently contains 188 pages.
    1. Provide advice about selecting and analyzing a Site for the Franchise. Your Site must meet our minimum requirements as set forth in the Manuals for square footage, layout, visibility, and other factors that we may determine from time to time. Site selection is your responsibility, but we will assist you in the site selection process by considering population density, traffic patterns, and proximity of the proposed site to other Beauty Bungalows or any other reasonable criteria. You must secure a Site that we have approved by signing a lease or purchase agreement within ninety (90) days of the date of this Agreement. We may extend the deadline for acquisition of a Site by 90 days in our sole discretion, and we may require you to pay a $2,500 extension fee and execute a general release as a condition of us agreeing to grant such extension. We will approve or disapprove your proposed Site within 30 days after we receive notice from you of your proposed Site. (See Section 8.02 and 10.01 of the Franchise Agreement).

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Beauty Bungalows' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is solely responsible for selecting the site for their Beauty Bungalows franchise. However, Beauty Bungalows will assist the franchisee in the site selection process by considering factors such as population density, traffic patterns, and proximity to other Beauty Bungalows locations. The selected site must meet Beauty Bungalows' minimum requirements for square footage, layout, and visibility, as outlined in their manuals.

Beauty Bungalows must approve the franchisee's chosen site if it meets their standards and specifications. The franchisee is required to secure the approved site by signing a lease or purchase agreement within 90 days of the franchise agreement date. Beauty Bungalows may grant a 90-day extension for site acquisition, but this is at their discretion and may require a $2,500 extension fee and the execution of a general release.

Beauty Bungalows also offers advice on negotiating the lease or purchase of the location, but the franchisee is responsible for the actual lease or purchase from independent third parties. Beauty Bungalows does not own the premises and lease it to the franchisee. The FDD states that Beauty Bungalows' assistance in lease negotiations does not constitute a representation or warranty regarding the lease or purchase.
