How long does Best Brains have to exercise its option to have the lease assigned after termination or expiration?

According to the 2025 Best Brains Franchise Disclosure Document, Best Brains has 30 days after the termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement to exercise its option to have the franchisee assign their interest in any lease for the franchised business premises.

This means that if a Best Brains franchise agreement ends, whether through expiration or termination, Best Brains has a limited time frame to decide if they want to take over the lease for the location. This allows Best Brains to maintain control over strategic locations and continue operations, if desired, even after a franchisee leaves the system.

For a prospective franchisee, this clause highlights the importance of understanding the terms of the franchise agreement and lease agreement, particularly regarding termination and expiration. It also demonstrates that Best Brains has a vested interest in the location of its franchises and may choose to continue operating a center even after a franchisee's departure. Franchisees should be aware that Best Brains could step in and assume the lease, potentially impacting their ability to negotiate lease terms or operate a competing business from the same location after the franchise agreement ends.
