What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is required to submit their grand opening plan to the franchisor for approval. The franchisee must spend a minimum of $15,000 on advertising and promotion related to the grand opening. This spending must occur within a period that begins at least 60 days before the studio opens and ends 30 days after the opening.
Beem Light Sauna retains the right to modify the franchisee's grand opening plan at their discretion. They can also require the franchisee to hire a public relations firm to assist with the grand opening. The money spent on wages and payroll-related expenses for employees cannot be credited towards the $15,000 grand opening spending requirement. The franchisee must also provide supporting documentation to Beem Light Sauna as evidence of these expenditures upon request.
Beem Light Sauna also has the option to require the franchisee to pay them the $15,000 directly. If this occurs, Beem Light Sauna will then manage the grand opening advertising and promotion for the studio as they see fit. It is important to note that any amount spent on the grand opening will not count towards the franchisee's general marketing spending requirements.
