Big_Air_Trampoline_Park Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You may purchase Area Development rights to open and operate two or more Big Air Trampoline Businesses. If you purchase Area Development rights for Big Air Trampoline Businesses, you will be granted a territory ("Development Territory") in which your Big Air Trampoline Businesses must be established during implementation of the development schedule. Your Development Territory will include a minimum population base of 200,000 (as determined by the most recent U.S. Census Bureau report) multiplied by the number of Big Air Trampoline Businesses you commit to open under the terms of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement. When and if the development schedule has been timely satisfied, you will no longer have the entire Development Territory and each Big Air Trampoline Business will be limited to its individual Territory, as described above. You will not receive rights of first refusal to acquire additional franchises.
During the term of the Multi-Unit Development Agreement, we do not have the right to establish our own, or to grant to others the right to establish, Big Air Trampoline Businesses within the Development Territory; however, we reserve the right to sell Products and Services, under the Marks or any other marks, through any other channels of distribution, and we reserve the same rights with respect to your Development Territory as it has with respect to exclusive territories granted to single unit franchisees.
While preservation of a Development Territory is not contingent upon sales volume, if you do not meet your development schedule, we may elect, in our sole discretion, to terminate your Multi-Unit Development Agreement, reduce or eliminate the territorial protections, or reduce the size of your Development Territory.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Air Trampoline Park's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the population base for a Development Territory, which is granted under a Multi-Unit Development Agreement, is determined by multiplying 200,000 by the number of Big Air Trampoline Park businesses the franchisee commits to open. The population data is based on the most recent U.S. Census Bureau report. This calculation establishes the minimum population within the Development Territory during the development schedule.
For a prospective multi-unit franchisee, this means the size of their Development Territory is directly tied to the number of locations they agree to develop. For example, if a franchisee commits to opening three Big Air Trampoline Park locations, their Development Territory must have a minimum population of 600,000 people according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau data. This ensures that the franchisee has a sufficient potential customer base to support their expansion plans.
It's important to note that once the development schedule is satisfied, the Development Territory no longer exists in its entirety. Instead, each Big Air Trampoline Park location is limited to its individual Territory. The FDD also states that Big Air Trampoline Park reserves the right to sell products and services through other channels of distribution within the Development Territory, similar to the rights they have with single-unit franchise territories. While the preservation of the Development Territory is not contingent upon sales volume, failure to meet the development schedule could lead Big Air Trampoline Park to terminate the agreement or reduce the territorial protections.
