What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is granted the exclusive right to establish a single Brain Balance location within a specific territory, defined as the city, town, or village identified on Schedule I of the franchise agreement. The franchisee needs prior written consent from Brain Balance to relocate their center or open additional centers within this territory.
Brain Balance agrees not to operate or franchise others to operate a Brain Balance Center within the franchisee's territory or a designated radius around their center, provided the franchisee is not in default of the agreement. However, Brain Balance retains the right to market to and advertise to clients located within the franchisee's territory.
The franchise agreement permits operation of the Brain Balance business only at a single location within the designated territory. To operate from an additional location or outside the assigned territory, a franchisee must sign a separate franchise agreement and pay an additional initial franchise fee to Brain Balance. Other franchisees or affiliates may market or advertise within a franchisee's territory.
