Regarding Face Foundrie franchises, is the radius restriction concerning where another franchised or company Facial Bar may open limited to the protected territory specified in the Franchise Agreement?

According to the 2025 Face Foundrie FDD, when signing the receipts, prospective franchisees are asked to confirm their understanding that the only radius restriction concerning where another franchised or company Facial Bar may open is the limited protected territory specified in the Franchise Agreement. This means that Face Foundrie may open another franchise or company-owned location outside of the franchisee's protected territory.

This acknowledgement is important for potential Face Foundrie franchisees because it clarifies the scope of their territorial protection. The franchisee's protected territory, as defined in the Franchise Agreement, is the only area where Face Foundrie commits to not opening another competing location. Outside of this territory, Face Foundrie retains the right to establish other franchises or company-owned Facial Bars.

This type of limited territorial protection is common in franchising. Franchisees should carefully evaluate the size and demographics of their protected territory to determine if it offers sufficient market potential. They should also consider the risk of competition from other Face Foundrie locations outside their protected territory when assessing the overall investment opportunity.
