What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Degree Wellness will furnish franchisees with one set of plans, specifications, and other materials that reflect Degree Wellness's suggestions and requirements for layout, equipment, fixtures, decorations, and signs for a Degree Wellness Studio.
The franchisee is then required to modify these plans and specifications, using an architect designated or approved by Degree Wellness, to comply with all local ordinances, building codes, permit requirements, and lease requirements applicable to the premises. Before construction begins, the franchisee must submit the final construction plans and specifications to Degree Wellness for approval. The franchisee must construct the Studio in accordance with those approved plans and specifications.
This process ensures that each Degree Wellness Studio maintains a consistent brand image and meets all necessary legal and safety standards. It also allows for some degree of customization to fit the specific location and the franchisee's needs, while still adhering to Degree Wellness's overall vision. The franchisee bears the responsibility for ensuring compliance with local regulations and obtaining necessary permits, highlighting the importance of due diligence and professional consultation during the build-out phase.
