What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to My Salon Suite's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee cannot relocate their Franchised Business without written consent from My Salon Suite. However, My Salon Suite will not unreasonably withhold consent if certain conditions are met.
First, the new location must be within the franchisee's Protected Territory. Second, the new location must meet My Salon Suite's then-current criteria for an Approved Location. This suggests that My Salon Suite has specific standards for site selection, which franchisees must adhere to. Finally, the franchisee must pay My Salon Suite's then-current relocation fee, if any. This fee is subject to change, so it's important to verify the amount with My Salon Suite at the time of relocation.
These requirements ensure that any relocation of a My Salon Suite franchise does not negatively impact the brand or other franchisees. By requiring the new location to be within the Protected Territory, My Salon Suite aims to prevent franchisees from encroaching on each other's territories. The site approval criteria help maintain consistent brand standards and customer experience across all locations. The relocation fee likely covers My Salon Suite's administrative costs associated with approving the move.
