If you want to relocate, you must notify us in writing 60 days before the relocation. We reserve the right to refuse to approve a proposed relocation if we believe that the proposed relocation is for any reason not acceptable to us. Our judgment may be based on factors such as the proximity to existing or proposed locations owned by other franchisees or us, the suitability of the proposed facilities, compliance with our then current franchise location requirements, the competitiveness within the market place or other factors.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must provide written notification 60 days before relocating their business. Best Brains reserves the right to refuse approval of the relocation if they find it unacceptable.
Best Brains' judgment in assessing a relocation's acceptability may be based on several factors. These include the proximity of the proposed location to existing or planned Best Brains centers (whether owned by other franchisees or by Best Brains itself), the suitability of the new facilities, and whether the location meets Best Brains' then-current franchise location requirements.
Additionally, Best Brains will consider the competitiveness of the marketplace and potentially other factors they deem relevant. This broad discretion means that franchisees need to carefully consider these factors and communicate with Best Brains early in the relocation process to understand their concerns and increase the likelihood of approval.
