What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Face Foundrie must approve the retail space for your Facial Bar. Face Foundrie has the right to review, evaluate, and approve your proposed lease before you execute it. This means that before signing a lease for a location, you must submit it to Face Foundrie for their approval.
Face Foundrie may place conditions on their approval, including requiring a Lease Rider where your landlord grants Face Foundrie the right to assume your lease obligations if you breach the lease agreement or if your Franchise Agreement is terminated or expires.

This requirement ensures that your Facial Bar is located in a space that meets Face Foundrie's standards and specifications, which helps maintain a consistent brand image and operational effectiveness.

Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these requirements and be prepared to work closely with Face Foundrie to find and secure an appropriate location.
