What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, "Program Sales" are defined as all gross income received from services sold at the business, including memberships and referral fees. However, the document specifies certain exclusions from this definition.
Specifically, "Program Sales" do not include revenues generated from product sales. This means that if a Body Brain Center franchisee sells physical products, the income from those sales is not factored into the "Program Sales" figure. Additionally, any amounts refunded to customers are also excluded from "Program Sales". This adjustment accounts for situations where customers receive a refund for services rendered. Sales and use taxes collected are also excluded from the "Program Sales" calculation.
The FDD also states that any amounts included in Program Sales for one reporting period that are subsequently refunded will be deducted from Program Sales for the next reporting period. Franchisees are required to provide reports of both Program Sales and product sales to Body Brain Center and must record all sales information on the same day the sale occurs.
