What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Big Air Trampoline Park FDD, Big Air Trampoline Park provides assistance with site selection and lease review. Specifically, Big Air Trampoline Park will provide written site selection guidelines, criteria, and assistance to help franchisees determine an acceptable location. Big Air Trampoline Park also assists by authorizing a site and reviewing/authorizing the final lease. Factors considered for site approval include demographics, traffic patterns, parking, the size and appearance of the building, ease of location, population density, income levels, competition, and the characteristics of surrounding areas. Franchisees must use Big Air Trampoline Park's outsourced real estate department during site selection and cannot independently contact landlords or local brokers without written permission.
Before leasing or purchasing a site, franchisees must submit a description of the site and other required information, such as a letter of intent. Big Air Trampoline Park has 14 days to evaluate the proposed site after receiving the necessary information. Franchisees must submit any sale or lease contract for review and authorization before signing. Site approval must be obtained within 6 months of signing the Franchise Agreement. Failure to secure a mutually agreeable location within this timeframe may result in termination of the Franchise Agreement, unless a written extension is granted.
While Big Air Trampoline Park offers site selection and lease review assistance, franchisees are ultimately responsible for locating a site and negotiating the lease. Big Air Trampoline Park is not obligated to assist with conforming the premises to local ordinances and building codes, obtaining required permits, or handling construction, remodeling, or decorating. The FDD states that Big Air Trampoline Park does not generally own the premises and lease it to the franchisee. The estimated timeframe for opening a Big Air Trampoline Facility is 12 to 18 months from the date of signing the Franchise Agreement, but this can vary due to factors like permits, construction, and financing.
