What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body20 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a Body20 studio is closed due to a Destruction Event, which is damage beyond the franchisee's control, the business will continue to be considered a 'Studio in operation' for up to 180 days after the event.
This means that during those 180 days, the franchisee is expected to diligently work to repair and restore the studio to the franchisor's approved plans and specifications. This restoration should occur either at the same location or at a substitute site accepted by Body20 within the Development Area.
However, if the Body20 studio remains closed for longer than 180 days after the Destruction Event, or if it closes for reasons other than a Destruction Event without Body20's written agreement, Body20 may exercise its rights and remedies as outlined in Section 6.2 of the franchise agreement. This underscores the importance of timely restoration and communication with Body20 in the event of significant damage to the studio.
