What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to remodel their Salon as reasonably required by Itan to meet current standards. However, Itan limits the amount franchisees must spend on remodeling, excluding equipment changes, to $25,000 during any 5-year period.
This means that a prospective Itan franchisee should anticipate a potential remodeling expense of up to $25,000 every five years to keep the Salon aligned with Itan's brand standards. This does not include costs associated with equipment changes, which are not limited. Franchisees need to factor this into their long-term financial planning.
It is important to note that there is no limit on remodeling costs required as a condition of transferring the franchise or renewing the franchise agreement. Additionally, franchisees must obtain Itan's approval before undertaking any remodeling or significant alterations to the premises. This ensures that all changes meet Itan's standards and maintain brand consistency.
