What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Fly To Fit's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the business location is subject to Fly To Fit's approval and must meet their specifications. The franchisee is expected to make reasonable efforts to have the landlord sign Fly To Fit's form of Rider to Lease Agreement, which is attached to the disclosure document as Exhibit D. This indicates that Fly To Fit has specific criteria for the location of its franchises.
This requirement is common in franchising, as the location can significantly impact the success of the business. By maintaining control over site selection and mandating a specific lease agreement rider, Fly To Fit aims to ensure that each location meets its standards for suitability and operational efficiency. This protects brand consistency and customer experience across all franchise locations.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit D, the Rider to Lease Agreement, to fully understand the obligations and requirements placed on the landlord and, by extension, on the franchisee. Understanding these specifications is crucial before committing to a location and signing a lease, as failure to meet these requirements could result in the location not being approved by Fly To Fit.
