What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must offer all services that Body Brain Center specifies. However, franchisees are not required to maintain an inventory for resale. Body Brain Center retains the unrestricted right to modify the products and/or services that franchisees are permitted to sell.
Furthermore, franchisees are prohibited from selling to individuals who are current members or have customer agreements with another Body Brain Center franchisee or a company-owned Body Brain Center, without the consent of the owner of that business. Body Brain Center may also establish maximum or minimum pricing for certain Body & Brain products and services, to the extent permitted by law.
This means that while franchisees have some autonomy in their business operations, Body Brain Center maintains significant control over the services offered and the customer base to be served. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these restrictions and the potential impact on their business before investing in a Body Brain Center franchise.
