What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after a franchisee has executed an accepted lease for their authorized location, Bft will deliver specifications and standards for building, equipment, furnishings, fixtures, layout, design, and signs related to the authorized location. Bft will also provide reasonable consultation in connection with the development of the studio.
It is important to note that while Bft provides these specifications and standards, the franchisee's architect is responsible for proposing changes to the layout, design, and construction specifications as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements and adapt to the unique physical characteristics of the location. However, any changes, alterations, or modifications to Bft's selected layout and design specifications must receive Bft's prior written consent.
This process ensures that the Bft studio maintains a consistent brand image and operational standard while also adhering to local regulations and accommodating the specific characteristics of the chosen location. The franchisee benefits from Bft's expertise in studio design and layout, while also having the flexibility to adapt the design to their specific location with Bft's approval.
