Lice Clinics of America: Revolutionizing Lice Treatment with Innovation

Lice Clinics of America (LCA), established in 2006, is a prominent network of clinics dedicated to head lice treatment. Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, the franchise operates under the ownership of Larada Sciences, Inc.

The clinics utilize the AirAllé® device, an FDA-cleared innovation that eliminates lice and their eggs in a single hour using carefully controlled heated air. This method stands out as a non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative to traditional lice treatments, which often rely on pesticides or require multiple applications.

To broaden access to its effective treatment solutions, Lice Clinics of America launched its franchising model in 2006, offering a proven medical device and clinic system to serve communities in need.

Franchise Disclosure Document

Training

Lice Clinics provides extensive training for its franchisees to ensure they can operate their clinics effectively. This includes an initial owner training program that features classes, hands-on demonstrations, and practice sessions covering clinic operations, business management, customer service, marketing, and lice treatment protocols.

Additionally, training may include instruction via teleconferencing or at designated locations. Periodic conventions and ongoing training opportunities are also offered to update franchisees on new procedures, operational improvements, and marketing strategies.

Franchisees can request additional training sessions, which are subject to additional fees.

Territory Protection

Lice Clinics provides limited territory protection to its franchisees. The franchise agreement may grant a defined territory; however, the franchisor retains the right to operate within or compete in the same area.

This setup allows the franchisor to potentially establish additional outlets or provide services that overlap with the franchisee's territory, depending on the specifics of the agreement.

While the territory protection clause is included, its terms often permit significant flexibility for the franchisor. Franchisees may need to be prepared for possible competition from the franchisor, even within their granted areas.
