Can a Dermani Medspa franchisee negotiate a leasehold allowance with the landlord?

According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may be able to negotiate a leasehold allowance with the landlord to cover a portion of the costs of constructing leasehold improvements. The FDD specifies that any allowance will be negotiated between the franchisee and the landlord. However, Dermani Medspa cannot estimate the amount, scope, or type of allowance that may be available for a particular site or from any specific landlord.

Leasehold improvements for a Dermani Medspa include wiring, flooring, sheetrock, plumbing, paint, HVAC, lighting, and décor items, which must be constructed according to Dermani Medspa's specifications. The costs for these improvements can vary significantly based on the size, location, configuration, installation costs, and overall condition of the premises. The FDD notes that costs may be much higher if the Dermani Medspa is located in an area with special requirements, such as historical, architectural, or preservation requirements.

Item 7 includes a table outlining the estimated initial investment, with a line item for leasehold improvements. The estimated low amount for leasehold improvements is $83,397, while the estimated high amount is $309,376. These figures are estimates, and the actual costs may vary considerably. The FDD recommends that franchisees carefully review these figures with a business advisor before making any decision to purchase the franchise, taking into account potential cash outlays and losses during the initial establishment phase.
