What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Hyper Kidz's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hyper Kidz has the option to hold a meeting of its franchisees. These meetings will occur when Hyper Kidz believes it will benefit the franchisees and the System. However, Hyper Kidz states that these meetings will not be held more than once annually.
These meetings can be beneficial for franchisees as they provide an opportunity to network with other franchisees, learn about new products or services, and address any concerns with Hyper Kidz. Franchisees should factor in the cost of attending these meetings, as they are responsible for all expenses, including travel, lodging, meals, and applicable wages for themselves and their attendees.
While attendance at these meetings is not explicitly stated as mandatory, Hyper Kidz retains the right to specify mandatory attendance for franchisees and/or their General Managers, unless an absence is excused by Hyper Kidz. This underscores the importance of franchisees being prepared to attend these meetings and allocate the necessary resources for travel and accommodation.
