What is included in 'Rent Expense' for a Dermani Medspa location?

According to Dermani Medspa's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, 'Rent Expense' encompasses more than just the base rent paid by a Company Location. It includes the total amount each Company Location paid to its landlord for rent, CAM (Common Area Maintenance) fees, and all other expenses charged by the landlord during the specified Measurement Period.

For a prospective Dermani Medspa franchisee, this definition is important for accurately budgeting operating expenses. When estimating monthly rent, franchisees should factor in not only the base rent but also any additional charges from the landlord, such as CAM fees, which can cover maintenance, insurance, and other shared costs of the property.

Understanding the components of 'Rent Expense' allows potential franchisees to compare the financial performance of the company-owned locations with their own potential costs. For example, the 'Rent Expense' for company-owned locations ranged from $56,886 to $126,075 during the Measurement Period. This provides a benchmark, but franchisees must consider local market conditions and lease terms, which can significantly impact these expenses.
