What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fitstop's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are generally restricted from advertising and promoting their Fitstop business outside of their designated territory. However, there are specific conditions under which Fitstop may allow advertising beyond the franchisee's designated area.
A Fitstop franchisee may advertise outside their designated territory if the geographic area they wish to advertise in is contiguous (adjacent) to their designated territory. Additionally, this contiguous area must not have already been granted to another Fitstop System Business, franchisee, or developer.
Even if the above conditions are met, a Fitstop franchisee must obtain prior written consent from Fitstop to advertise outside of their designated territory. This requirement ensures that all advertising efforts align with Fitstop's overall marketing strategy and brand standards, and that no conflicts arise between different franchise locations.
