What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Body & Brain Center Franchise Disclosure Document, the State Addendum is included as an exhibit. Specifically, Exhibit I is the State Addendum. This addendum is part of the disclosure documents a prospective franchisee receives. The receipt page of the FDD indicates that the recipient acknowledges receiving all listed exhibits.
The inclusion of a State Addendum is typical for franchise systems that operate in multiple states, as state franchise laws often require specific disclosures or modifications to the franchise agreement. This ensures that the franchise agreement complies with the laws of the franchisee's state.
Prospective Body & Brain Center franchisees should carefully review the State Addendum, if any, applicable to their state, as it may contain provisions that modify or supplement the standard franchise agreement. Franchisees should seek legal counsel to understand the implications of the State Addendum and how it affects their rights and obligations under the franchise agreement.
