Is HSP World an optional or required supplier for Body Brain Center franchisees?

According to Body Brain Center's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, HSP World, BBYHC's merchandising division, is an approved supplier for certain inventory items, including books, uniforms, clothing, healing products, dietary supplements, and skin care products. While franchisees are not required to purchase any inventory for resale, if they choose to do so, they have the option to purchase these items from HSP World or other approved suppliers. All inventory purchased must meet Body Brain Center's standards and specifications.

This means that while using HSP World is not mandatory, franchisees must still adhere to Body Brain Center's standards for any inventory they choose to sell. They can source inventory from other suppliers, but those suppliers must be approved by Body Brain Center. This gives franchisees some flexibility in sourcing inventory while ensuring brand consistency and quality.

It is important to note that Body Brain Center can change its list of approved suppliers. Franchisees will be notified of any changes to the list of approved or designated suppliers within 30 days. This allows Body Brain Center to maintain control over the supply chain and ensure that franchisees are only purchasing inventory from reliable sources that meet its standards.
