Relocation of the Franchised Business. We will not normally approve the relocation of the Franchised Business unless there is a material change in economic or other factors affecting your outlet. We will not normally allow you to open additional outlets within your Protected Area. If you lose possession of the Location through no fault of your own, or if we give our approval, you may apply to us for our approval to relocate your business to another site in the designated area, provided such a site is available. We will approve or disapprove the relocation of your outlet, typically within 14 business days of your submission of the required site selection documents required by us.

What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company will not typically approve a franchise location relocation unless there is a significant change in economic or other factors affecting the outlet. If a franchisee loses possession of their location through no fault of their own, or if Deka Lash gives prior approval, the franchisee can apply to relocate to another site within their designated area, assuming a suitable site is available.
The relocation approval process requires the franchisee to submit the necessary site selection documents to Deka Lash. The company will then typically approve or disapprove the relocation within 14 business days of receiving these documents. This process ensures that any new location meets Deka Lash's standards and is likely to succeed.
This policy protects both Deka Lash and its franchisees by ensuring that relocations are only considered when necessary and that any new location is carefully evaluated. For a prospective franchisee, this means that relocation is not a simple process and depends on specific circumstances and Deka Lash's approval. It is important to maintain good standing and demonstrate a need for relocation to increase the chances of approval.
