What happens if a Deka Lash franchisee loses possession of their location through no fault of their own?

According to Deka Lash's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee loses possession of their location through no fault of their own, or if Deka Lash approves, the franchisee can apply to relocate their business to another site within their designated area, provided a suitable site is available. Deka Lash will then typically approve or disapprove the relocation within 14 business days of receiving the required site selection documents.

This clause provides a degree of flexibility for Deka Lash franchisees facing unforeseen circumstances that force them to vacate their original location. However, the relocation is not guaranteed, as it depends on Deka Lash's approval and the availability of an alternative site. The franchisee must still submit the necessary site selection documents for review.

It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the site selection criteria outlined in Deka Lash's manual, as this will influence the approval of any new location. Franchisees should also clarify with Deka Lash what constitutes a 'material change in economic or other factors' that might affect relocation approval, and what specific documentation is required for the site selection process to ensure a smooth transition if relocation becomes necessary.
