What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to purchase several items from mandatory vendors. These include an array of skincare products and tools sold at retail and used in the operation of your Facial Bar (including Face Foundrié-branded items), which as of the date of this Disclosure Document includes collagen spritz, serums, moisturizers, facial cups and gua sha, other general facial tools, shopping bags and other branded collateral. Franchisees must also obtain their facial bar management software, which handles scheduling, appointment booking, inventory, and payments, from Face Foundrie's mandatory vendor.
Additionally, franchisees must use Face Foundrie's mandatory vendor for online accounting software and a financial performance data reporting platform. The cost of the financial performance data reporting platform is included as part the Technology Fee you pay to Face Foundrie. Face Foundrie also requires franchisees to use their mandatory vendor for digital advertising agency services.
Furthermore, franchisees must purchase architectural services, millwork, branded exterior signage, branded interior signage (along with brackets), and certain skin treatment machines from vendors Face Foundrie requires. These mandatory vendor requirements ensure uniformity and quality control across all Face Foundrie locations, but they also limit the franchisee's ability to shop for the best prices or preferred suppliers. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the potential costs and limitations associated with these required purchases.
