Besides FDTC and Evolv, are there any other approved or designated suppliers in which any of Itan's officers own an interest?
Itan Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Our affiliate, FDTC, is the exclusive supplier for FIT Bodywraps®. Our affiliate, Evolv, is the exclusive supplier for all TANOLOGY® and BRONZE LUMINESSENCE™ skincare products and CALIFORNIA SPA® Ageless Serum, as well as certain branded supplies, such as name tags, bed tents, iTAN tote bags and key tags. FDTC and Evolv may also sell these products to the public and other retailers through other channels of distribution, although iTAN franchisees enjoy discounted pricing not generally available to other purchasers of these products. We may designate ourselves and our affiliates as approved or designated suppliers for other goods and services in the future. We and our affiliates may generate a profit from these purchases. Except for FDTC and Evolv, no person affiliated with us is currently an approved (or the only approved) supplier. Our Chief Executive Officer owns an interest in us (the franchisor) as well as FDTC and Evolv. There are no other approved or designated suppliers in which any of our officers own an interest.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, besides FDTC and Evolv, there are no other approved or designated suppliers in which any of Itan's officers own an interest. However, the document does state that Itan's Chief Executive Officer owns an interest in Itan (the franchisor) as well as FDTC and Evolv. FDTC is the exclusive supplier for FIT Bodywraps®, and Evolv is the exclusive supplier for all TANOLOGY® and BRONZE LUMINESSENCE™ skincare products and CALIFORNIA SPA® Ageless Serum, as well as certain branded supplies, such as name tags, bed tents, iTAN tote bags and key tags.
It is important to note that FDTC and Evolv may also sell these products to the public and other retailers through other channels of distribution. However, iTAN franchisees enjoy discounted pricing not generally available to other purchasers of these products. This arrangement means that while franchisees are required to purchase certain products from these affiliated suppliers, they may receive a price advantage over the general public.
Itan retains the right to designate themselves and their affiliates as approved or designated suppliers for other goods and services in the future, which could create additional revenue streams for the company and its affiliates. Franchisees should stay informed about any changes to approved suppliers, as these changes could impact their operating costs and product sourcing.
