What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, the Franchised Business will operate at a location that Deka Lash approves. The specific location will be designated in Section 2 of Schedule 1 of the Franchise Agreement.
Deka Lash's approval of the location is based on the site selection criteria outlined in their manual. The franchisee is obligated to operate the Deka Lash business solely from this approved site and cannot relocate without prior approval from Deka Lash. Franchisees are also required to sell only approved products and services at the approved Deka Lash studio.
Relocation of the Franchised Business is not typically approved unless there are significant changes in economic or other factors affecting the outlet. Similarly, opening additional outlets within the Protected Area is generally not allowed. However, if the franchisee loses possession of the location through no fault of their own, or with Deka Lash's approval, they may apply to relocate the business to another site within the designated area, subject to Deka Lash's approval, which is typically processed within 14 business days of submitting the required site selection documents.
Each Deka Lash franchise is granted a Protected Area, as defined in Schedule 1, Section 3 of the Franchise Agreement. This area is typically a 1.5-mile radius, but Deka Lash reserves the right to adjust the size of the Protected Area based on the demographics and development of each market.
