What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, pre-opening services include assistance in obtaining and preparing facilities for their intended use. This encompasses related financing, architectural, and engineering services, as well as lease negotiation.
This means that as a new Face Foundrie franchisee, you may receive support from the franchisor in several key areas related to setting up your physical location. This support could range from helping you secure funding for the build-out, to providing architectural and engineering guidance to ensure the space meets Face Foundrie's brand standards and operational requirements. Lease negotiation assistance can be particularly valuable, as it could help you secure favorable terms and conditions for your location.
However, the FDD also states that Face Foundrie may or may not provide all of these services. It is important for a prospective franchisee to clarify with Face Foundrie exactly which facility-related services they will provide as part of the initial franchise fee. Understanding the scope of this support is crucial for budgeting and planning the launch of your Face Foundrie franchise. Clarify what specific assistance Face Foundrie provides versus what the franchisee is responsible for securing independently.
