What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Store Shadow' training takes place at a Corporate Store. This segment of the training involves 0 hours of classroom instruction and 3 hours of on-the-job training.
This on-site training is part of the broader Initial Training Program that Face Foundrie provides to new franchisees and their staff. The program includes a mix of online/virtual sessions, training at the Corporate Headquarters, and this specific component at an actual Face Foundrie store. The purpose of 'Store Shadow' training is to provide hands-on experience and practical insights into the daily operations of a Face Foundrie Facial Bar.
For prospective franchisees, this means they or their staff will spend time observing and learning in a real-world setting, which can be invaluable for understanding customer interactions, service protocols, and overall store management. The relatively short duration of the 'Store Shadow' segment suggests it is focused on targeted observation rather than active participation. Franchisees should confirm with Face Foundrie the specific activities covered during this training and how it integrates with the other training modules.
