What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor will provide advice and assistance in site selection. Learningrx will analyze a potential location based on criteria such as population density, traffic patterns, and the proximity to other Learningrx centers. The franchisor may also consider any other reasonable criteria as detailed in Section 10.2 of the FDD.
It is important to note that while Learningrx offers assistance, the franchisee is ultimately responsible for finding a suitable site and negotiating the lease. Learningrx retains the right to reject a proposed location, although this consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The FDD stipulates that the location should be close to the center of the territory, emphasizing the importance of location for the potential success of the Learningrx business.
If the franchisee and Learningrx disagree on the initial site selection, the franchisee is required to propose two alternative locations for evaluation. Learningrx will then provide an evaluation of each of these sites. The franchisor has 30 days from the date of receiving written notice of the proposed site to either approve or disapprove the location. Failure to provide written approval within this timeframe results in the site being deemed disapproved. However, the FDD makes it clear that Learningrx's assistance does not constitute a warranty regarding the property or the lease.
