What is the typical radius of the Protected Territory for a Beauty Bungalows franchise?
Beauty_Bungalows Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Once you have secured the Site for your Beauty Bungalows franchise, we will provide you an area in which you will have protected rights (the "Protected Territory"). Your Protected Territory will typically be a twomile radius around your Business, unless your Business is located in a major metropolitan downtown area or similarly situated/populated central business district (a "Central Business District"). If your Business is located in a Central Business District, your Protected Territory may be limited to a geographic area comprised of anywhere from a radius of two blocks to two miles around your Business, as we deem appropriate in our discretion. The size of your Protected Territory may vary from the territory granted to other franchisees based on the location and demographics surrounding your Business.
The boundaries of your Protected Territory may be described in terms of zip codes, streets, landmarks (both natural and man-made) or county lines, or otherwise delineated on a map. The sources we use to determine the population within your Protected Territory will be publicly available population information (such as data published by the U.S. Census Bureau or other governmental agencies and commercial sources). Your Protected Territory will be defined in Attachment I of the Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beauty Bungalows' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee's protected territory typically extends two miles around their business location. However, this can vary if the business is situated in a major metropolitan downtown area or a similarly populated central business district. In such cases, the protected territory may range from a radius of two blocks to two miles, depending on what Beauty Bungalows deems appropriate. The size of the protected territory can also differ from other franchisees based on the specific location and demographics surrounding the business.
It's important to note that the boundaries of the protected territory are defined in Attachment I of the Franchise Agreement and may be described using zip codes, streets, landmarks, or county lines, or otherwise delineated on a map. Beauty Bungalows uses publicly available population information, such as data from the U.S. Census Bureau or other governmental and commercial sources, to determine the population within the protected territory.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Attachment I of the Franchise Agreement to understand the exact boundaries of their protected territory. They should also consider the potential impact of a smaller protected territory in a central business district, where competition may be more intense. It is also important to understand that Beauty Bungalows retains the right to sell products under the Marks within and outside your Protected Territory through any method of distribution other than a dedicated Beauty Bungalows location, including, sales through such channels of distribution as the Internet, catalog sales, telemarketing, or other direct marketing sales.
