What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Creative World School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee needs approval from Creative World School to relocate their business. This approval is required both for the relocation itself and for the new site. Creative World School states that they apply the same considerations when evaluating a relocation site as they do for evaluating new Creative World School businesses and sites generally.
This means that if a franchisee wishes to move their existing Creative World School to a new location, they cannot do so without the franchisor's express consent. This is a fairly standard clause in franchise agreements, as the location of the business is often a key factor in its success, and the franchisor wants to ensure that any new location meets their standards and will not negatively impact the brand.
For a prospective franchisee, this implies that relocation is not a simple decision and requires careful planning and communication with Creative World School. The franchisee should be prepared to justify the relocation and demonstrate that the new site is suitable for the business. It is important to understand the criteria Creative World School uses to evaluate new sites, as these same criteria will be applied to any proposed relocation site.
