Does Degree Wellness review and approve suppliers and distributors that a franchisee would like to use?

According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Degree Wellness does review and approve suppliers and distributors that a franchisee would like to use. Specifically, Degree Wellness will review and approve suppliers and distributors that a franchisee would like to use, as stated in the Franchise Agreement, Section 10.3.

This means that as a Degree Wellness franchisee, you are not entirely free to choose your own suppliers. You have the option to propose suppliers and distributors, but Degree Wellness retains the right to approve or disapprove them. This is a fairly common practice in franchising, as it allows the franchisor to maintain quality control and consistency across all franchise locations.

It is important to understand the criteria Degree Wellness uses for approving suppliers and distributors. Prospective franchisees should inquire about these criteria and any preferred supplier lists during their due diligence. This will help you anticipate any potential limitations or additional costs associated with sourcing products and supplies for your Degree Wellness studio.
