What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Itan Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly state whether Itan provides suggested retail pricing to franchisees. However, the document does state that Itan will offer guidance and recommendations to improve the operation of the salon. Itan also has the right to conduct periodic field visits to provide consultation and guidance.
Itan franchisees must comply with any minimum inventory stocking requirements outlined in the manual. Itan may create new retail products, merchandise, or other goods or services for sale at the salon. Itan may negotiate purchase agreements with suppliers to obtain discounted prices for franchisees.
While the FDD does not directly address suggested retail pricing, the level of support and guidance Itan offers suggests that Itan franchisees may receive some form of pricing recommendations. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Itan during their due diligence whether suggested retail pricing is provided and how much flexibility a franchisee has in setting prices.
