Is Degree Wellness's approval required to relocate a Studio within the Protected Territory?

According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must obtain approval from Degree Wellness before relocating their Studio to a different site within their Protected Territory. This requirement ensures that the new location continues to align with Degree Wellness's brand standards and market strategy.

This stipulation is common in franchise agreements to maintain brand consistency and prevent franchisees from moving to locations that could negatively impact other franchisees or the overall brand. While franchisees have an exclusive territory, Degree Wellness retains control over the specific location of the Studio to optimize market penetration and brand image.

It is important for prospective Degree Wellness franchisees to understand this requirement, as relocating without approval could be a breach of the Franchise Agreement. Franchisees should discuss the criteria and process for relocation approval with Degree Wellness during their due diligence to ensure they are comfortable with the level of control Degree Wellness maintains over site selection and relocation.
