Does Degree Wellness currently operate a business under a different trademark that is similar to Degree Wellness franchises?

According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Degree Wellness does not currently operate or franchise a business under a different trademark or service mark that is similar or dissimilar to the products and services offered by Degree Wellness franchises. However, Degree Wellness's affiliate, Degree Wellness International, LLC, plans to offer and sell Degree Wellness Studio franchises internationally using the Degree Wellness trademarks. Degree Wellness International, LLC, will not use a different trademark or service mark to offer or sell Studio franchises and will not offer or sell Studios in a franchisee's Protected Territory.

This statement clarifies that while Degree Wellness itself isn't operating similar businesses under different branding, its international affiliate will be expanding the Degree Wellness brand abroad. This is important for prospective franchisees to understand, as it confirms that the franchisor is focused on growing the Degree Wellness brand directly, rather than diversifying into competing concepts domestically.

It also assures franchisees that the international expansion won't encroach on their protected territories, as Degree Wellness International, LLC, is committed to using the established trademarks and not operating within the franchisee's designated area. This provides a level of comfort and security for franchisees, knowing that their market is protected from internal competition under different branding.
