If you are a Multi-Unit Developer, you must sign your first Franchise Agreement at the same time you sign the Multi-Unit Development Agreement. The typical length of time between the signing of the Franchise Agreement and the opening of your first Franchised Business is the same as for an individual franchisee. Each additional Franchised Business you develop must be opened according to the terms of your minimum performance schedule. (Multi-Unit Development Agreement 3.2)

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Hyper Kidz Franchise Disclosure Document, a Multi-Unit Developer must sign their first Franchise Agreement at the same time they sign the Multi-Unit Development Agreement. The timeline for opening the first franchised business is the same as for an individual franchisee.
Each additional Hyper Kidz franchised business that the Multi-Unit Developer opens must adhere to the terms outlined in the minimum performance schedule. This means the developer is obligated to open new locations according to an agreed-upon timetable, ensuring consistent expansion and adherence to the development agreement.
This simultaneous signing requirement ensures that the Multi-Unit Developer is immediately committed to opening and operating a Hyper Kidz location while also planning for future development. The franchise agreement provides the framework for the day-to-day operations of each location, while the development agreement sets the stage for the overall expansion strategy. This dual commitment helps Hyper Kidz maintain brand consistency and growth targets.
