What happens if Face Foundrie does not approve a proposed site for a Facial Bar?
Face_Foundrie Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The proposed site for your Facial Bar must be accepted by us along with any applicable lease, sublease or purchase agreement. Our approval of a site will be based on the information you give us to review, including a site plan. The information should include: (i) square footage; (ii) traffic patterns, flow, and total count; (iii) density and income level of the surrounding population; (iv) land and building costs; (v) zoning patterns; (vi) surrounding educational and recreational facilities; (vii) terms of the lease, if any; (viii) the distance
from competitive businesses, including other facial bars; and (ix) other factors having a substantial bearing on the proposed site. In addition, you must submit for acceptance by us proposed site and construction plans and any modification to our specifications you propose. The construction of the premises must be completed according to our specifications. If you lease the premises, you and the landlord must enter into a lease reasonably acceptable to us, which includes the Lease Rider in substantially the form attached to the Franchise Agreement (currently as Exhibit G). If we do not approve a site, you must propose a new site. If we and you are unable to agree upon a site for your Facial Bar and, as a result, you fail to meet required opening date, we may terminate your Franchise Agreement. Once we have all the necessary documentation for review, we typically review that information and approve or disapprove the proposed site and lease within 30 days. Once we have approved a site, it is your responsibility to conform the premises to local ordinances and building codes, and to obtain any required permits. Additionally, it is your responsibility to oversee the construction, remodeling, and/or decorating of the premises, according to the standards and guidelines we provide you.
