What is Degree Wellness's standard franchise offering expectation regarding real estate and construction management services?

According to Degree Wellness's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the standard franchise offering expects franchisees to use Degree Wellness's third-party Approved Supplier for real estate and construction project management services. This applies to the construction and buildout of the franchised business. The estimated cost for these services is a lump sum of $20,500, payable as incurred to the Approved Supplier.

In addition to real estate and construction management services, Degree Wellness provides an estimate for lease security deposits, which range from $11,318 to $34,668 for three months. The document notes that Degree Wellness expects the premises to be between 1,800 and 2,400 square feet, with the security deposit equaling one month's rent. These costs are paid to a third-party provider when securing the premises.

Furthermore, the FDD outlines expenses for studio layout, architect, engineer, drawings, and permits, estimating a range of $19,250 to $21,500. These fees are paid to an Approved Supplier and third-party providers as incurred. Leasehold improvements, which are expenses to improve the premises according to brand standards, are estimated to range from $138,952 to $384,621, paid to a third-party provider as invoiced. These estimates are based on Degree Wellness's standard franchise offering, which expects the premises to be between 1,800 and 2,400 square feet and meet system standards.
