How many employees on payroll did the Minneapolis Face Foundrie location average in 2024?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Minneapolis location averaged 18-20 employees on payroll in 2024. This figure is based on the actual historical information from Face Foundrie's corporate Facial Bars. It's important to note that labor costs, which include payroll and professional fees, do not include the owner's salary but do include the salary for a Salon Manager.

In 2024, Face Foundrie raised wages for certain positions at all of its corporate Facial Bars in Minnesota to match those at the Minneapolis Facial Bar, which is subject to a citywide minimum wage ordinance. Additionally, paid time off benefits were implemented for certain employees, increasing labor costs at the Minneapolis location by approximately $10,300. Minnesota's Earned Safe and Sick Time law also took effect in 2024, mandating paid sick leave for employees, which could have further impacted labor costs.

For prospective franchisees, this information provides a benchmark for staffing levels and associated labor costs. However, the FDD cautions that actual expenses for a franchised location may vary considerably based on factors such as location, staffing levels, local marketing expenditures, and other business decisions. It is crucial for potential franchisees to conduct their own independent investigation of revenue, costs, and expenses to accurately assess the financial implications of operating a Face Foundrie franchise.
