How long does Learningrx have to approve or disapprove a proposed site?

According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Learningrx has 30 days to either approve or disapprove a franchisee's proposed site. This 30-day period starts when Learningrx receives written notice of the proposed site from the franchisee. If Learningrx does not provide written approval within this timeframe, the site is considered disapproved.

This stipulation is important for prospective Learningrx franchisees because it sets a clear timeline for the site selection process. Franchisees need to be aware of this deadline to avoid delays in opening their Learningrx center. It also implies that franchisees should submit all necessary information about the proposed site promptly to allow Learningrx adequate time for evaluation.

While Learningrx has the right to reject a proposed location, the FDD states that consent will not be unreasonably withheld. If the franchisee and Learningrx cannot agree on the initial site, the franchisee must propose two alternative sites, which Learningrx will then evaluate. This process ensures that the franchisee has multiple opportunities to find a suitable location, while also giving Learningrx control over site selection.

It is also important to note that Learningrx's assistance in site selection does not constitute a warranty or representation regarding the property or lease. The franchisee remains responsible for independently verifying the suitability of the site and negotiating the lease terms. This is a common practice in franchising, where the franchisee typically bears the ultimate responsibility for the real estate aspects of their business.
