What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to My Salon Suite's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Agreement term continues until the completion of the Development Schedule. Unlike the Franchise Agreement, which has a term of ten years with options for two consecutive ten-year renewals, the Development Agreement's duration is tied directly to fulfilling the agreed-upon development obligations.
This means that for a My Salon Suite developer, the agreement remains in effect as long as they are actively working to establish the number of franchise locations outlined in their development schedule. There isn't a fixed maximum term in years, but rather a term dependent on the pace and success of the franchisee's development efforts.
This structure could be advantageous for developers who need flexibility in their rollout plans, but it also places the onus on them to maintain progress to keep the agreement active. A prospective franchisee should clarify with My Salon Suite what specific milestones and timelines are included in the Development Schedule to fully understand the commitment involved.
