What is the definition of 'Salon' in the Itan Franchise Disclosure Document?

According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Salon' is defined as any salon that Itan authorizes to operate under its Marks and use its System. This means that to be considered an official Itan 'Salon', the location must be approved by Itan and adhere to Itan's operational standards and branding.

This definition is important for prospective franchisees because it clarifies that they are only considered an official Itan location if they meet the franchisor's requirements. This includes using Itan's trademarks (the 'Marks') and following Itan's established methods and procedures for running the business (the 'System').

The 'System' includes distinctive interior and exterior design, décor, signage, color scheme and other trade dress elements; proprietary retail products and equipment; high quality tanning services, technology and techniques; comprehensive training programs; advertising and marketing strategies; merchandising strategies; and operating system. Therefore, franchisees must ensure their business aligns with these elements to be recognized as an authorized Itan 'Salon'.
