What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Hyper Kidz Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to conduct a grand opening advertising campaign to promote their new business. This campaign must include elements that Hyper Kidz requires, such as direct mail campaigns and giveaways. The grand opening advertising campaign must occur during a specific timeframe.
The timeframe for the grand opening advertising campaign includes the 12 weeks before the Hyper Kidz Business opens and the 12 weeks after the opening. Hyper Kidz retains the right to manage the grand opening funds, local advertising expenditure, and implement grand opening campaign activities or local advertising on behalf of the franchisee.
This requirement ensures that each new Hyper Kidz location receives adequate promotion both leading up to and following its launch. By mandating a grand opening advertising campaign within a defined period, Hyper Kidz aims to create awareness and attract customers to the new franchise location. The estimated cost for this advertising is between $5,000 and $14,000, as shown in the table of initial investments.
