What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Embassy Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 2 of the eforea Spa Amendment to the Franchise Agreement amends Section 1 of the Franchise Agreement. Specifically, it changes certain defined terms within that section.
This amendment is relevant if a franchisee chooses to operate an eforea spa in conjunction with their Embassy Suites hotel. The amendment modifies the definition of "Hotel" in the original agreement to include the eforea spa, ensuring that the spa's operation is covered under the franchise terms.
For a prospective Embassy Suites franchisee, this means that if they plan to add an eforea spa to their hotel, they need to understand how this amendment alters the original Franchise Agreement, particularly the defined terms in Section 1. This could impact various aspects of their franchise operation, including the scope of the agreement and the included facilities.
