Who is responsible for the cost of removing signs from the original Kidokinetics business location when relocating?

According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is solely responsible for the costs associated with removing any signs or property that identifies the original Kidokinetics business location as part of the Kidokinetics system when relocating. This responsibility falls entirely on the franchisee.

This means that if a franchisee decides to move their Kidokinetics business to a new location, they must pay for the removal of all Kidokinetics-related signs and branding from the original site. This includes the physical removal of signs, covering up logos, and any other necessary actions to ensure the location no longer appears to be associated with the Kidokinetics franchise.

For a prospective franchisee, this highlights a potential cost to consider when planning for relocation. It's essential to factor in these expenses, as they can impact the overall financial planning of the move. Additionally, franchisees should ensure they understand the specific requirements for sign removal to comply with Kidokinetics's standards and avoid any disputes or penalties.

This requirement is fairly standard in franchising, as franchisors want to maintain brand consistency and avoid confusion if a former location is not properly de-branded after a franchisee moves or closes.
