What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must notify Best Brains in writing 60 days before relocating their learning center. Best Brains reserves the right to refuse approval for a proposed relocation if they deem it unacceptable for any reason.
Best Brains' judgment to refuse a relocation can be based on several factors. These include the proximity of the proposed location to existing or planned Best Brains centers (either those owned by other franchisees or by Best Brains itself), the suitability of the proposed facilities, and whether the new location complies with Best Brains' current franchise location requirements.
Additionally, Best Brains may consider the competitiveness of the marketplace at the proposed new location as a factor in their decision. The FDD indicates that Best Brains retains broad discretion in determining what constitutes an unacceptable relocation, giving them significant control over where franchisees operate their centers.
