What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must obtain Learningrx's approval to relocate their center. Learningrx has the right to approve or deny a relocation request for any reason. The approval process will consider factors such as population density, income levels, general location guidelines, the proximity of the proposed site to other Learningrx Centers, and the time it will take to relocate the Center.
Notably, the FDD outlines specific relocation fees. The first relocation request within the initial or any successor term of the Franchise Agreement incurs no fee. However, a second relocation request will cost $250, and a third request will cost $500. The franchisee bears the sole expense of any relocation.
This requirement is fairly standard in franchising, as franchisors want to ensure brand consistency and protect other franchisees' territories. A franchisee should carefully consider these factors and potential costs before deciding to relocate their Learningrx center.
