What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the receipt included in Item 23 indicates that the Body & Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document for the State of Illinois included Exhibit I, which is the State Addendum. The purpose of a state addendum is to address specific legal requirements or modifications to the standard franchise agreement that are necessary to comply with the franchise laws of a particular state.
Since the excerpt only mentions that a State Addendum is included as an exhibit to the FDD, it does not provide details on what specific topics or modifications the addendum covers. State franchise laws vary, and addenda are used to ensure the franchise agreement complies with those specific state regulations.
Prospective Body & Brain Center franchisees should carefully review the State Addendum (Exhibit I) applicable to their state, along with the entire FDD, and seek legal counsel to understand how state-specific provisions may affect their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement. They should also ask the franchisor for clarification on any points that are unclear or require further explanation.
