What This Means (2024 FDD)
The 2024 Deka Lash Franchise Disclosure Document addresses the scenario where a franchisee loses possession of their location through no fault of their own. In such cases, 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 typically makes a decision on the relocation of the outlet within 14 business days after the franchisee submits the required site selection documents. This process ensures that the new location meets Deka Lash's standards and criteria.
This policy provides a safety net for franchisees, allowing them to continue their business operations in a new location if unforeseen circumstances force them to vacate their original premises. However, relocation is contingent on Deka Lash's approval and the availability of an appropriate site, highlighting the importance of maintaining a good relationship with the franchisor and proactively seeking solutions in case of potential location issues.
