You must select a site that you propose to use for your Franchised Business and you must submit to us all information we require to evaluate the site you propose. You may not obtain the site (by lease, sublease or purchase agreement) until the site has been approved by us. We have the right to review any lease, sublease or purchase agreement for the approved site before you sign it. At our request, you and your landlord must sign our form of Collateral Assignment of Lease, attached to the Franchise Agreement as Attachment 6.
You must arrange for blueprints and/or construction plans to be prepared for the build-out of your Franchised Business. We have the right to designate the architect or design firm that you must use. We will provide you with our requirements for the layout of your Franchised Business. Any blueprints or construction plans must be submitted to us for our approval before you may begin construction. Our review is only meant to verify compliance with our standards and presentation of the Proprietary Marks. You must make sure that the plans are in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and building codes, including the Americans with Disabilities Act. We may inspect your Franchised Business during its construction and you may not open your Franchised Business until we have approved it for opening.
Any advertising materials that you have had prepared for you, or that we have not approved within the most recent 12-month period, and that you wish to use to promote your Hyper Kidz Business must be submitted to us for our approval before the materials may be used. You may not use any advertising materials that we have not approved.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Hyper Kidz's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee cannot open their Hyper Kidz Business until Hyper Kidz has approved it for opening. Prior to this, the franchisee must select a site for the Franchised Business and submit all required information for evaluation. The franchisee cannot obtain the site via lease, sublease, or purchase agreement until Hyper Kidz approves the site. Hyper Kidz retains the right to review any lease, sublease, or purchase agreement before it is signed.
Before construction, the franchisee must arrange for blueprints and/or construction plans, potentially using an architect or design firm designated by Hyper Kidz. These plans must be submitted to Hyper Kidz for approval to verify compliance with their standards and presentation of proprietary marks. The franchisee is responsible for ensuring the plans comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, and building codes, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Hyper Kidz may inspect the Franchised Business during construction. Additionally, any advertising materials must be submitted for approval before use, especially if they haven't been approved within the most recent 12-month period. This multi-stage approval process—site, construction plans, and final inspection—is typical in franchising to ensure brand consistency and compliance with standards.
