What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are primarily responsible for setting their own prices. However, Body20 may require franchisees to adhere to certain pricing policies. If Body20 determines it can lawfully mandate specific prices, minimum prices, or maximum prices for goods or services, franchisees must follow those pricing policies as outlined in the manuals or in writing.
Body20 may also set a suggested retail price and prohibit franchisees from advertising other prices for those goods or services. Outside of these stipulations and the promotional programs and reciprocity exceptions detailed in Section 6.10(a) of the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee has the authority to determine the prices charged to customers.
Franchisees must provide Body20 with their current price list upon request. This allows Body20 to monitor pricing across the franchise system and ensure compliance with any established pricing policies. This also gives Body20 the ability to ensure that the franchisee is following the pricing policies set forth by the company.
