What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Face Foundrie Franchise Disclosure Document, several sections specify that written notice is required for various actions. For example, if a franchisee wants to acquire a successor franchise, they must provide Face Foundrie with written notice between six and nine months before the current agreement expires. This notice needs to include a refurbishment plan for the Facial Bar, which Face Foundrie must approve before any work begins.
Additionally, the franchisee must provide written notice if they intend to modify the Membership Agreements to comply with local laws. This notice must be given to Face Foundrie at least fourteen days before the changes are implemented. Furthermore, the franchisee is obligated to provide Face Foundrie with the names and information of their Operating Partner and Salon Manager in writing, ensuring this information remains current throughout the agreement's term.
If the Salon Manager leaves, dies, becomes disabled, or no longer meets Face Foundrie's qualifications, the franchisee must promptly inform Face Foundrie in writing. They then have 30 days to take corrective action. These stipulations highlight the importance of formal written communication for key operational and contractual matters within the Face Foundrie franchise system.
