Initial Opening Package
Our affiliate, Face Foundrié Products L.L.C., and other designated suppliers will be the designated suppliers of certain branded and proprietary items for use in your Facial Bar, including cleansers, masques, serums, oils, brow tints, and other facial supplies, printed marketing materials, and other items that we adopt for use in the System. Such items are estimated to cost in the range of $48,000 to $59,100, prior to opening your Facial Bar; of this amount, we estimate up to $500 will be paid to our affiliate for optional products. We may add to or delete from such items which must be purchased from us prior to opening, and on an ongoing basis, at any time. The cost for the purchase of these products and services are non-refundable. If we do not require that you purchase such items from us or our affiliate, you must purchase them from our designated supplier(s).
Construction Visits
We reserve the right to conduct on-site inspections during the construction of your Facial Bar, as we deem appropriate, to ensure the construction of the site meets our brand standards. We estimate that we will have one construction visit to your site and, as of the date of this Disclosure Document, there is no cost to you for this first visit. If additional construction visits are required, however, we may require you to pay us or reimburse us our out-of-pocket expenses that we incur in conducting such on-site inspections, including costs of transportation, lodging, and meals. We estimate that the payments to us for any additional construction visit will range from $500 to $1,500 per visit. These costs are non-refundable.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 9 outlines the franchisee's obligations, including those related to site development and pre-opening requirements. Specifically, section (c) of Item 9 directly addresses "Site development and other pre-opening requirements," referencing Sections 3 and 9.02 of the Franchise Agreement and Item 3 of the Development Agreement, as well as Items 6, 7, 8, and 11 of the Disclosure Document. This indicates that these sections contain information about the franchisee's responsibilities in preparing the site and meeting pre-opening obligations.
Item 5 also discusses pre-opening requirements, detailing the "Initial Opening Package" which includes branded and proprietary items like cleansers, masques, serums, oils, brow tints, facial supplies, and printed marketing materials. The estimated cost for these items ranges from $48,000 to $59,100 before the Facial Bar opens, with up to $500 potentially paid to Face Foundrie's affiliate for optional products. Face Foundrie may modify the required items at any time, and franchisees must purchase them from Face Foundrie or its designated suppliers.
Furthermore, Face Foundrie reserves the right to conduct on-site inspections during the construction of the Facial Bar to ensure compliance with brand standards. While the first construction visit is free, additional visits may cost the franchisee between $500 and $1,500 per visit to cover transportation, lodging, and meals. These costs are non-refundable. Prospective franchisees should carefully review these sections to understand the full scope of their obligations and potential expenses related to site development and pre-opening preparations.
