Can Face Foundrie or its affiliate act as the general contractor for the Facial Bar construction?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is required to employ a qualified licensed general contractor who has been approved or designated by Face Foundrie to construct the Facial Bar and complete all improvements. This general contractor may be Face Foundrie itself or an affiliate of Face Foundrie.

This means that Face Foundrie retains the option to act as the general contractor for the construction of the franchisee's Facial Bar. Alternatively, Face Foundrie can designate an affiliated company to fulfill this role. This provides Face Foundrie with some control over the construction process, potentially ensuring that the build-out aligns with their brand standards and operational requirements.

For a prospective franchisee, this could mean working directly with Face Foundrie or one of its affiliates during the construction phase. While this could streamline the process and ensure compliance with Face Foundrie's specifications, it's important for the franchisee to clarify the costs, responsibilities, and potential benefits or drawbacks of using Face Foundrie or its affiliate as the general contractor. It would be prudent to compare this option with using an independent contractor to ensure the best value and service.
