What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific location for the franchise premises is designated in Section 2 of Schedule 1 of the Franchise Agreement. Deka Lash must approve this location based on their site selection criteria, which are detailed in their Manual. The franchisee is only permitted to operate the Deka Lash business from this approved site.
Relocation of the Franchised Business is not typically approved unless there are significant changes in economic or other factors affecting the outlet. If a franchisee loses possession of the location through no fault of their own, or with Deka Lash's approval, they may apply to relocate to another site within the designated area, provided such a site is available. Deka Lash typically makes a decision on relocation within 14 business days of receiving the required site selection documents.
Furthermore, once Deka Lash approves the lease for the site, fully executes it, and the franchisee submits it, the Franchise Location and associated Protected Area are defined in Section 2 and Section 3 of Schedule 1 to the Franchise Agreement. This supersedes any temporary protected radius that may have been in place during the lease negotiation period. This ensures that both the franchisee and Deka Lash are clear on the specific location and protected area associated with the franchise.
