What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Big Air Trampoline Park FDD, the franchisee is primarily responsible for finding a suitable location for their Big Air Trampoline Park facility. Specifically, the franchisee must locate a site and negotiate the lease terms for the property. However, Big Air Trampoline Park may require the franchisee to use its designated real estate services supplier.
Big Air Trampoline Park does offer site selection assistance, including analyzing the location and helping to negotiate lease terms. This assistance includes examining factors such as population density, census data, demographic and income characteristics, and proximity to other Big Air Trampoline Park locations. The franchisor retains the right to approve or reject any proposed location in its sole discretion, as the location is a critical factor in the potential success of the business. However, the FDD clarifies that Big Air Trampoline Park's assistance and approval do not constitute a warranty regarding the property's success or viability.
For multi-unit developers, the process involves submitting detailed information about the proposed location to Big Air Trampoline Park for preliminary authorization. This information includes lease terms, land acquisition terms, demographic criteria, and preliminary site plans. The multi-unit developer's offer to secure the site must be contingent upon final approval by Big Air Trampoline Park. Ultimately, the franchisee bears the risk and responsibility if they proceed with establishing a site before receiving the franchisor's approval.
