Territory
SINGLE UNIT
Many franchisees begin by purchasing a single-unit franchise agreement. This allows you the opportunity to search for a location in any market that is not already under exclusive agreement by another franchisee. Once you sign a lease, a radius protection is established for your salon, which in most markets is 2 miles. After you are up and running you are then able to purchase subsequent franchise agreements or consider an area development agreement
MULTI-UNIT
The best way to hold exclusive rights to develop and open multiple locations is through an Area Development Agreement. As an Area Developer, you will own the exclusive rights to a set of zip codes based on the number of agreements you purchase. The total number of zip codes is also determined by demographic data such as total population and total income. The Area Development Agreement allows you the flexibility to retain exclusivity on a set schedule giving you time to find real estate and develop your market.
