From how many locations will I operate my Goldfish Swim School franchise?
Goldfish_Swim_School Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
You will operate the franchise from one location that we approve. You must receive our written permission before relocating. In order to analyze the proposed location for the relocated franchised swim school, we will use the same criteria as we use to evaluate an initial location. If you can no longer use the location due to circumstances beyond your control or fault, including destruction of the premises, you may be allowed to relocate. If you attempt to sell your franchised swim school or transfer your interest from the franchised swim school to a third party, we may exercise our right of first refusal. You do not have any options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights, and do not receive the right to acquire additional franchises or development territories under either the Franchise Agreement or the Area Development Agreement. You must meet our qualifications for new franchisees to qualify for an additional franchise location. There are no minimum sales quotas.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Goldfish Swim School Franchise Disclosure Document, you will operate your franchise from one approved location. The franchisor, Goldfish Swim School, must provide written permission before you can relocate your swim school.
To assess a potential relocation site, Goldfish Swim School will apply the same standards it uses for evaluating initial locations. Relocation may be permitted if the current location becomes unusable due to circumstances beyond your control, such as the destruction of the premises.
It is important to note that the franchise agreement does not grant you any options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional franchises or development territories. To qualify for an additional franchise location, you must meet the franchisor's qualifications for new franchisees. There are no guaranteed rights to expand beyond the initial, single location.
