What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Grand Opening Representative Fee is paid to the franchisor, Best Brains. As shown in the estimated initial investment tables, this fee is between $3,500 and $3,500. This fee covers the travel, lodging, and other costs for a Corporate Representative to attend the franchisee's Grand Opening.
The Grand Opening Representative Fee is due before the Best Brains center opens. The method of payment is arranged between the franchisee and Best Brains.
This fee is separate from the Grand Opening Advertising costs, which the FDD estimates to be $14,000, payable to other suppliers. It is important for prospective franchisees to budget accordingly for both the representative fee and the advertising expenses to ensure a successful launch.
