What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, Bft does not directly offer franchises for studios providing medical and non-medical products/services under the LINDORA® trademark. However, Lindora Franchisor, an affiliate of Bft, does offer and sell these franchises. This means that while Bft itself is not involved in the Lindora franchise, its affiliate is.
This distinction is important for a prospective franchisee to understand because it clarifies which entity they would be contracting with for a Lindora franchise. It also highlights the broader organizational structure of Bft and its related brands. The FDD lists several other affiliates that offer franchises under different trademarks such as CYCLEBAR®, CLUB PILATES®, PURE BARRE®, RUMBLE®, STRETCH LAB®, and YOGA SIX®.
The fact that Bft's affiliates operate these other franchises indicates that the company is involved in a variety of fitness and wellness concepts. A potential franchisee should be aware of this structure and how it might impact their relationship with Bft, even if they are pursuing a franchise under a different brand like Lindora. Understanding the relationships between these affiliated brands can provide a more complete picture of the franchisor's overall business strategy and potential opportunities.
