What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Learningrx has the right to deny a franchisee's request to relocate their center for any reason. The FDD states that if a franchisee requests to relocate their center, Learningrx's approval is required, and Learningrx has the right to grant or deny this request "for any reason or no reason."
This policy gives Learningrx broad discretion over relocation decisions. While Learningrx's approval will be based on factors such as population density, income levels, general location guidelines, proximity to other Learningrx centers, and the time it will take to relocate the center, they are not obligated to approve a relocation even if these factors are met. This could be a significant consideration for franchisees who may need to move their center due to changing market conditions or lease issues.
It is important to note that franchisees will not be required to pay a relocation fee for the first relocation request within the initial term or any successor term of the Franchise Agreement. However, a fee of $250.00 is required for a second relocation request, and $500.00 for a third request within the same term. Any relocation of the Learningrx center will be at the franchisee's sole expense.
