What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document, Attachment C is a Lease Addendum. Franchisees must try to get their landlord to sign this addendum. If the landlord refuses to sign the Lease Addendum in the form attached to the Franchise Agreement, Body Brain Center has the right to disapprove the lease. If Body Brain Center disapproves of the lease, the franchisee must find a new site for their Center.
The purpose of the Lease Addendum is to protect Body Brain Center's interests and ensure that the lease terms are favorable or at least acceptable to them. This is a common practice in franchising, as the franchisor wants to ensure that the franchisee's location is secure and that the lease terms do not negatively impact the franchisee's ability to operate the business.
Prospective Body Brain Center franchisees should carefully review the Lease Addendum and understand its terms before signing a lease for their location. They should also be prepared to negotiate with the landlord to get them to sign the addendum. If the landlord refuses to sign the addendum, the franchisee should contact Body Brain Center for guidance on how to proceed.
