our approval.
Grant of Territory
Your franchise agreement will specify a territory, which will be determined by us. Your territory will have a population of approximately 100,000 to 200,000 people from the location, whichever comes first. Your territory will usually be specified as a radius around your location; however, we may use other boundaries (such as county lines or other political boundaries, streets, geographical features, or trade area).
Relocation; Establishment of Additional Outlets
You do not have the right to relocate your business, and we have no obligation to approve any request for relocation. Our policy is to approve relocation of a franchisee's business on caseby-case basis, considering factors such as changes in demographics, profitability of your current business, or a loss of your premises due to circumstances beyond your control.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement will specify a territory determined by Fly To Fit. This territory typically includes a population of approximately 100,000 to 200,000 people from the franchise location. Fly To Fit has the discretion to define the territory using a radius around the location or other boundaries such as county lines, political boundaries, streets, geographical features, or trade areas.
If the specific location and territory are not defined when the franchise agreement is signed, the franchisee is responsible for finding a potential location within the designated Development Area. The franchisee must then submit this proposed location to Fly To Fit for approval, along with any related information requested by Fly To Fit. Fly To Fit will issue a Location Acceptance Letter, which includes the location and territory, upon accepting the proposed location.
Fly To Fit determines the territory in its "good faith discretion, substantially in accordance with Item 12 of the Franchise Disclosure Document." If Fly To Fit fails to define the territory in writing within 60 days after the franchisee opens for business, the territory will default to the zip codes including and immediately surrounding the franchised business location, encompassing a total population of 200,000. It is important to note that Fly To Fit's acceptance of a site does not guarantee the business's success, and Fly To Fit assumes no liability regarding the location of the business.
