I understand that Bikram cannot offer franchises in certain states at this time. What happens if I operate a studio in one of those states?
Bikram has applied for registration to offer franchises in all states. However, some states take longer than others. If you are in a state where Bikram cannot offer franchises, you will not be given access to the FDD and you will not be able to purchase a franchised studio. If you are interested in the franchise, you should send an e-mail or letter to Bikram indicating that you are interested in becoming a franchisee. As soon as the registration is complete, Bikram will contact you and offer you the franchise. Until that time, however, Bikram cannot discuss the franchise offering with you.
