What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Itan will develop and host a local webpage for a franchisee's salon. This webpage will be linked to Itan's corporate website and will include information about the salon, such as the address, contact information, and hours of operation.
Itan retains ownership of the salon's webpage and domain name, and Itan has the right to change or discontinue the website and the salon's webpage at any time. This means that while franchisees benefit from having a local webpage managed by the franchisor, they do not have control over the content or continued availability of the page.
This service is part of the marketing assistance that Itan provides to its franchisees. It is common in the franchise industry for franchisors to offer website development and hosting as part of their support to help franchisees establish an online presence and drive traffic to their local businesses.
