You may relocate your Salon with our prior written approval, which we will not unreasonably withhold.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee who wishes to relocate their salon must pay a relocation fee of $2,500. This fee is due at the time Itan approves the franchisee's request to relocate the salon.
In practical terms, this means that if an Itan franchisee's current location is no longer viable or if a better location becomes available, they have the option to move their business. However, this move is contingent on Itan's approval and the payment of the specified relocation fee. The franchisee must also ensure the former site no longer resembles an Itan salon.
It is important for prospective Itan franchisees to consider this relocation fee as part of their overall financial planning. If a franchisee anticipates the possibility of needing to move locations during the term of their franchise agreement, they should factor this cost into their budget. Additionally, the franchisee must cover the costs of securing and developing the new site, as well as any potential grand opening marketing campaigns that Itan may require.
