What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body & Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement grants a protected territory to franchisees after the site for their center has been approved. This territory, as specified in Part C of Attachment "B", will have a minimum population of 70,000.
Body & Brain Center will not operate or grant franchises to third parties for Body & Brain Centers or Dahn Yoga Centers within the franchisee's territory during the term of the agreement. This restriction is subject to exceptions for Captive Venues and Alternative Channels of Distribution. The franchisor retains the right to operate Body & Brain Centers or grant franchises/licenses in Captive Venues within the franchisee's territory and to sell goods/services through Alternative Channels of Distribution, even if sales occur within the franchisee's territory.
Attachment B further clarifies that the Site Selection Area is distinct from the territory and offers no territorial protections. The actual territory is defined in Part C of Attachment B and is depicted on a map. Any changes to zip codes, streets, or boundaries defining the territory during the franchise term will not alter the territory's original definition unless otherwise agreed upon in writing, ensuring the territory remains as defined on the effective date.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Attachment B and any associated maps to fully understand the geographic boundaries of their protected territory and any potential limitations or exceptions to those boundaries. Understanding these territorial rights and limitations is crucial for assessing the market potential and competitive landscape for a Body & Brain Center franchise.
