We estimate that the time from when the Franchise Agreement is signed to the opening of the Hyper Kidz Business will be approximately 9 to 12 months. This time may be shorter or longer depending on the time necessary to obtain an accepted site, to obtain financing, to obtain the permits and licenses for the construction and operation of the Hyper Kidz Business, to complete construction or remodeling as it may be affected by weather conditions, shortages, delivery schedules and other similar factors, to complete the interior and exterior of the Hyper Kidz Business, including decorating, purchasing and installing fixtures, equipment and signs, and to complete preparation for operating the Hyper Kidz Business, including
purchasing inventory and supplies, and completing our initial training program. You must open your Hyper Kidz Business and begin business not later than 12 months after you sign the Franchise Agreement. If you are unable to open your Hyper Kidz Business within the required timeframe, we may provide you with an extension of this timeframe or we may terminate your Franchise Agreement. You may not open your Hyper Kidz Business for business until we have approved you to do so.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Hyper Kidz's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated timeframe from signing the Franchise Agreement to opening a Hyper Kidz Business is approximately 9 to 12 months. However, this timeframe is subject to change based on several factors. These include the time it takes to secure an accepted site, obtain necessary financing, and acquire the required permits and licenses for both construction and operation.
Construction and remodeling timelines can also be affected by external conditions such as weather, material shortages, and delivery schedules. Completing the interior and exterior of the Hyper Kidz Business, including decorating, purchasing, and installing fixtures, equipment, and signs, also contributes to the overall timeline. Finally, the time required to purchase inventory and supplies, and to complete the initial training program, can also affect the opening date.
Prospective Hyper Kidz franchisees should be aware that failure to open the business within 12 months of signing the Franchise Agreement could lead to termination of the agreement, although Hyper Kidz may grant an extension. Therefore, it's crucial to carefully consider these potential delays and plan accordingly to ensure timely completion of all pre-opening activities.
