What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body20's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Body20 can mandate specific pricing for goods or services if they determine it is lawful to do so. This includes setting certain minimum or maximum prices. These pricing policies will be outlined in the manuals or in writing.
Body20 may also set a suggested retail price for goods or services and prohibit franchisees from advertising different prices. However, franchisees are generally responsible for setting their own prices for members and customers, except as specified in the franchise agreement regarding pricing policies and promotional programs.
Franchisees must provide Body20 with their current price list upon request. This allows Body20 to monitor pricing and ensure compliance with any established pricing policies. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the conditions under which Body20 can control pricing, as this can impact their revenue and profitability.
