-
- Review and approve or disapprove your proposed Clinic site (Franchise Agreement – Section 3.1). You must seek and select a mutually agreeable site within your Site Selection Area within 120 days after signing the Franchise Agreement. We will inform you of our approval or disapproval of your proposed site within 15 days of your proposal of the Clinic site. The site must meet our criteria for demographics; traffic patterns; parking; ingress and egress; character of neighborhood; competition from, proximity to, and nature of other businesses; size; appearance; and other physical and commercial characteristics. We require your Clinic to be a minimum of 1,800 square feet in size. Clinics are typically located in high-traffic strip malls. For each proposed site, you must submit to us, in the form we specify, a description of the site and any other information or materials that we may require. We will not unreasonably withhold approval of a site that meets our standards for general location and neighborhood, traffic patterns, parking size, layout, lease terms, and other physical characteristics for HealthSource Chiropractic Clinics. If you fail to identify a mutually agreeable site by the established deadline, then we may terminate your Franchise Agreement. Our approval of a proposed site is not, and should not be deemed, a judgment by us concerning the likelihood of success of a Clinic at the location, or the relative desirability of the site in comparison to other sites within the Protected Territory.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Healthsource Chiropractic's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor must review and approve or disapprove a proposed clinic site. The franchisee must find a mutually agreeable site within their Site Selection Area within 120 days of signing the Franchise Agreement. Healthsource Chiropractic will then inform the franchisee of their decision within 15 days of the site proposal.
The site criteria include demographics, traffic patterns, parking, ingress and egress, character of neighborhood, competition from other businesses (including proximity to and nature of those businesses), size, appearance, and other physical and commercial characteristics. Healthsource Chiropractic requires clinics to be a minimum of 1,800 square feet and typically located in high-traffic strip malls.
For each proposed site, the franchisee must submit a description of the site and any other information or materials that Healthsource Chiropractic may require. The franchisor states that it will not unreasonably withhold approval of a site that meets its standards for general location and neighborhood, traffic patterns, parking size, layout, lease terms, and other physical characteristics. However, the document clarifies that Healthsource Chiropractic's approval of a site should not be considered a judgment on the likelihood of the clinic's success at that location.
