What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 C3 Wellness Spa Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must begin any required improvements, modifications, refurbishments, renovations, or remodels of their spa facility within 30 days of the franchisor's request.
This requirement ensures that all C3 Wellness Spa locations maintain a consistent brand image and meet the franchisor's current standards. If a franchisee fails to start the required work within the 30-day period, or does not continue the work diligently, C3 Wellness Spa has the right to enter the franchisee's location and complete the work themselves.
The franchisee is then responsible for paying the entire cost of the completed work to C3 Wellness Spa upon demand. This provision highlights the importance of adhering to the franchisor's standards and timelines to avoid potential financial burdens and maintain compliance with the franchise agreement.
