What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Face Foundrie provides franchisees with a sample layout for the interior of a typical Face Foundrie Facial Bar, including décor specifications that have been approved by Face Foundrie.
Before starting construction, the franchisee must comply with Face Foundrie's requirements to their satisfaction and at their own expense. The franchisee needs to employ a qualified, licensed architect or engineer approved or designated by Face Foundrie to prepare preliminary plans and specifications for site improvement and/or construction of the Facial Bar based upon prototype plans and/or specifications furnished by Face Foundrie. Face Foundrie has the right to designate suppliers of design and/or architecture services.
Face Foundrie also makes available specifications and guidelines for the construction of a Face Foundrie Facial Bar, including interior design and layout, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, and signs. However, these standard design plans and specifications do not include requirements of any federal, state, or local law, code, or regulation, including those concerning the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Compliance with all laws and regulations is the franchisee's responsibility and expense.
Face Foundrie retains the right to modify prototype design plans and specifications and develop additional ones, but will not modify the prototype plans and specifications for the Facial Bar once those plans have been given to the franchisee. Each Face Foundrie Facial Bar will be designed differently depending on the specifications of the premises, and the franchisee must adapt the standard plans to the Facial Bar's location, subject to Face Foundrie's approval.
