What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Hyper Kidz's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must arrange for blueprints and/or construction plans to be prepared for the build-out of their Franchised Business. Hyper Kidz retains the right to designate the architect or design firm that the franchisee is required to use. Hyper Kidz will provide the franchisee with their specific requirements for the layout of the Franchised Business.
Before construction can commence, the franchisee must submit these blueprints or construction plans to Hyper Kidz for approval. This review process is primarily to ensure that the plans comply with Hyper Kidz's standards and properly display the Proprietary Marks. However, it is the franchisee's responsibility to ensure that the plans also comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, and building codes, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Hyper Kidz has the right to inspect the Franchised Business during construction. The franchisee cannot open the Hyper Kidz Business until Hyper Kidz has given its final approval for opening. This multi-stage approval process—site approval, plan approval, construction inspection, and final opening approval—is typical in franchising to maintain brand consistency and regulatory compliance.
