What was the average number of employees on payroll at the Face Foundrie Minneapolis location in 2024?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Minneapolis location averaged 18-20 employees on payroll in 2024. This figure is based on the actual historical information from Face Foundrie's corporate facial bars. It's important to note that these labor costs include payroll and professional fees but do not include the owner's salary, though they do include the salary for a Salon Manager.

For a prospective franchisee, this information provides a benchmark for staffing levels and associated labor costs. However, the FDD also cautions that actual expenses, including labor, can vary significantly based on factors such as location and business decisions. The document mentions that in 2024, Face Foundrie raised wages for certain positions at all corporate locations in Minnesota to match those at the Minneapolis Facial Bar, which was subject to a citywide minimum wage ordinance.

Additionally, the implementation of paid time off benefits in 2024 increased labor costs at the Minneapolis location by approximately $10,300. Minnesota's Earned Safe and Sick Time law also took effect in 2024, mandating paid sick leave for employees. These changes highlight the importance of staying informed about local labor laws and their potential impact on operating costs. A franchisee should carefully consider these factors and conduct their own independent investigation to estimate labor costs accurately for their specific location.
