What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Clean Your Dirty Face's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if Clean Your Dirty Face elects to purchase the interest offered, they must notify either the franchisee or the selling owner(s). This notification must occur within thirty days after Clean Your Dirty Face receives a copy of the offer and all other requested information.
This clause outlines Clean Your Dirty Face's right of first refusal, a common provision in franchise agreements. It allows Clean Your Dirty Face to maintain control over who becomes a franchisee within their system. By having the first option to buy the business, Clean Your Dirty Face can prevent the transfer of a franchise to an undesirable party.
For a prospective Clean Your Dirty Face franchisee, this means that if they decide to sell their franchise, they must first offer the business to Clean Your Dirty Face on the same terms as any third-party offer. This could potentially delay the sale process, as Clean Your Dirty Face has 30 days to decide whether to exercise its right of first refusal. Franchisees should consider this potential delay when planning their exit strategy.
