What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee purchases multiple franchises, they must have at least one owner for each center, and an owner cannot manage multiple centers. Therefore, if a franchisee purchases more Body Brain Center franchises than they have owners, they must hire at least one individual manager to assume responsibility for the daily supervision and operation of any Body & Brain Center that is not managed by an owner.
The hired manager may only manage one Body Brain Center location. The manager must also be approved by Body Brain Center, which may include an interview at their headquarters. The franchisee is responsible for paying Body Brain Center the initial training fee for the manager. Additionally, the manager must sign a Brand Protection Agreement before attending training.
This requirement ensures that each Body Brain Center location receives adequate supervision and maintains operational standards, even if the franchisee does not have enough owners to directly manage each center. The Brand Protection Agreement is likely in place to protect Body Brain Center's brand and confidential information.
