Currently, franchisees are required to purchase all Operating Assets according to Clean Your Dirty Face's standards and specifications, including fixtures, furniture, equipment, and the Computer System, with the exception of minor supplies (i.e., cleaning products) and equipment (i.e., computer cables).
Clean Your Dirty Face maintains the authority to develop and modify standards and specifications for these Operating Assets. These specifications are detailed in the Operations Manual or communicated to franchisees in writing. This ensures uniformity and quality across all Clean Your Dirty Face Facial Bars, which is a common practice in franchising to maintain brand consistency.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that Clean Your Dirty Face also has the right to designate approved suppliers for certain products and services, and franchisees must purchase these items from those designated suppliers.
