For Fly To Fit, is the franchisee's business location subject to approval?

According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee's business location is subject to approval by Fly To Fit. This means that before a franchisee can open their Fly To Fit studio, the location they have chosen must meet the specifications and standards set by Fly To Fit.

This approval process is a common practice in franchising, designed to ensure brand consistency and that the location is suitable for the business model. Fly To Fit also requires franchisees to use reasonable efforts to have their landlord sign Fly To Fit's form of Rider to Lease Agreement, which is attached to the FDD as Exhibit D. This agreement likely contains terms that protect Fly To Fit's interests and ensure the landlord is aware of the specific requirements of a Fly To Fit franchise operating on their property.

For a prospective Fly To Fit franchisee, this means they will need to work closely with Fly To Fit to find a location that meets their criteria and be prepared to negotiate with the landlord to sign the Rider to Lease Agreement. Failing to obtain location approval or the landlord's signature on the Rider could delay or even prevent the franchisee from opening their Fly To Fit studio.
