What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to pay a Marketing Contribution, which is 3% of Gross Sales per month. This payment must be made no later than the 5th day of the month for the previous month's Gross Sales. However, Face Foundrie retains the discretion to establish a different payment schedule.
This means that as a Face Foundrie franchisee, you must ensure that 3% of your gross sales from the previous month is submitted by the 5th of the current month. This contribution goes into the System Marketing Fund, which Face Foundrie uses for brand development and marketing initiatives. These initiatives are intended to benefit all Face Foundrie locations.
It is important to note that Face Foundrie has the right to modify the payment schedule for the Marketing Contribution. Therefore, franchisees should stay informed of any changes to avoid late payment penalties or other issues. Additionally, all Royalty Fees, Marketing Contributions, Technology Fees, and other fees must be paid via automated bank draft or another method determined by Face Foundrie.
