What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Learningrx has 30 days to either approve or disapprove a proposed site for a new Learningrx center. This 30-day period starts once Learningrx receives written notice of the proposed site from the franchisee.
If Learningrx fails to provide written approval or disapproval within this 30-day timeframe, the site is automatically considered disapproved. However, Learningrx states that it will not unreasonably withhold consent for a site. If the franchisee and Learningrx cannot agree on the initial site, the franchisee must propose two alternative sites, which Learningrx will then evaluate.
This clause is important for prospective franchisees as it sets a clear timeline for site approval, allowing them to plan accordingly. Franchisees should ensure they submit all required information about the proposed site in writing to start the 30-day clock. The automatic disapproval clause also protects franchisees from undue delays, although it also places the onus on the franchisee to find an acceptable location.
