eement if you fail to meet this deadline or if we cannot agree on a site.
Your Center must be located within the Site Selection Area identified in Part B of ATTACHMENT "A" to the Franchise Agreement and conform to our minimum site selection criteria. You must send us a complete site report that includes all information we require about your proposed site. We try to approve or disapprove sites within 15 days after receiving the site report. Our failure to approve a site within the 15-day period constitutes our disapproval. We consider the following factors when reviewing proposed sites:
- visibility, size, condition and characteristics of the building
- traffic counts and traffic patterns
- accessibility and availability of parking and security of the surrounding area
- general location and character of neighborhood
- existence and location of competitive businesses
- local demographic information and economic indicators
We list the address of your approved site either: (a) in Part C of ATTACHMENT "A" to the Franchise Agreement (if we approve the site before signing the Franchise Agreement); or (b) in a Site Approval Notice we send you after we approve the site (if we approve the site after signing the Franchise Agreement). If you sign an ADA, we must approve the site for each Center you develop applying our then-current site selection criteria.
We do not help you negotiate your lease. However, we will provide contact information for our recommended real estate attorney who you may choose to hire to help review and negotiate your lease.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best In Class Education Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the physical location of the center must adhere to specific criteria outlined in the Franchise Agreement. The center must be situated within the Site Selection Area, as defined in Part B of ATTACHMENT "A" of the Franchise Agreement, and it must also meet Best In Class Education Center's minimum site selection criteria.
The document specifies that the franchisee is responsible for identifying a potential site and securing approval from Best In Class Education Center within 120 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. Failure to meet this deadline or gain approval can result in termination of the agreement. The franchisor does not select the site or lease the premises to the franchisee.
When evaluating potential sites, Best In Class Education Center considers factors such as the visibility, size, condition, and characteristics of the building, traffic patterns, accessibility, parking availability, security, the general location and character of the neighborhood, the presence of competing businesses, and local demographic and economic data. The approved site's address is listed either in Part C of ATTACHMENT "A" if approved before signing the agreement, or in a Site Approval Notice if approved afterward. A typical center ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 square feet and may be located in an office building, professional building, or a retail setting like a strip mall. Ideally, the facility should be near shopping venues such as grocery stores. A center should have between 3 and 5 classrooms with a separate reception area.
