What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Itan's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, remodeling the salon is required for franchise renewal. Specifically, to renew the franchise agreement, the franchisee must remodel the salon and upgrade all furniture, fixtures, and equipment to meet Itan's current standards and specifications at the time of renewal.
To initiate the renewal process, the franchisee must provide Itan with a notice of intent to enter into a Successor Agreement. This notice must be submitted no less than 240 days and no more than one year before the current term expires. In addition to remodeling, the franchisee must not be in default under any agreements, must sign the Successor Agreement and any required ancillary documents, provide a General Release, pay a $1,000 renewal fee, and extend the lease term to cover the duration of the renewal term.
It is important to note that the Successor Agreement, which is the franchise agreement used for renewals, may have terms that differ significantly from the original agreement. Itan also reserves the right to modify the territory boundaries upon renewal based on their current guidelines. Therefore, franchisees should carefully review the terms of the Successor Agreement and understand the potential costs and requirements associated with remodeling and upgrading the salon before deciding to renew their franchise.
