What does 'Square Feet' refer to in the context of a My Salon Suite Franchised Business?

According to My Salon Suite's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, 'Square Feet' refers to the square footage of the Franchised Business. This is a key metric used in the Item 19 financial performance representation to give prospective franchisees an idea of the size of typical My Salon Suite locations.

Square footage is used in conjunction with other metrics such as occupancy rate and number of suites to provide a comprehensive picture of a location's potential. For example, the financial performance representation includes data from 244 reporting My Salon Suite Franchised Businesses. The data includes square footage, occupancy, number of suites, gross revenue, general operating expenses, rent expense, royalties, and EBITDA.

Specifically, the FDD includes a table showing the average P&L for all 244 reporting My Salon Suite Franchised Businesses. This table shows that the square footage for all centers ranges from a high of 13,172 to a low of 2,880, with a median of 5,654 and an average of 5,922. The table also shows that for the Top Quartile by Revenue (61 locations), the square footage ranges from 13,172 to 3,870, with a median of 5,689 and an average of 6,014.

Understanding the square footage of a typical My Salon Suite franchise is important for estimating potential build-out costs, rent expenses, and overall revenue potential. A prospective franchisee should consider how the size of the location might impact its operational efficiency and profitability.
