What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document, Deka Lash maintains significant control over the goods and services offered by its franchisees. Deka Lash has complete and exclusive control over its logos, designs, and products. The franchisor can change the authorized goods and services sold by franchisees and may revoke approval of previously approved goods or services, in which case the franchisee must immediately stop selling the revoked products.
This means a Deka Lash franchisee cannot independently source or design products. They are required to cease selling any product if Deka Lash revokes its approval. This level of control is common in franchising to maintain brand consistency and quality control.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that they are obligated to adhere to Deka Lash's decisions regarding product offerings and suppliers. Franchisees are prohibited from approaching any manufacturers, vendors, or third parties regarding the design or production of any Deka Lash memorabilia or products. This ensures uniformity across all Deka Lash locations and protects the brand's intellectual property.
