My_Salon_Suite Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We must approve any lease for the Approved Location before you enter into such an agreement. We may condition our approval on a number of conditions, including: (i) an agreement by you and the landlord of the Approved Location to enter into our prescribed form of collateral assignment of lease and our then-current form of lease addendum (if any); and (ii) receiving a written representation from the landlord of the Approved Location that you will have the right to operate the Franchised Business, including subleasing/renting certain portions of the Approved Location to different third-party salon professionals, throughout the term of your Franchise Agreement (Section 12.S. of the Franchise Agreement). You will also be required to provide to us computer-aided design ("CAD") and Portable Document Format ("PDF") files from the architect or contractor regarding the build-out of the Approved Location.
If you plan to purchase the building where the Approved Location for your Franchised Business will be, then the landlord entity that owns the building must be a separate entity from the franchisee entity. We must approve the lease that you use in connection with the Franchised Business.
