What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is expected to open their Facial Bar within ten months after the Effective Date of the franchise agreement. However, Face Foundrie may, at its discretion, grant a six-month extension if the franchisee requests it.
To obtain this extension, the franchisee must pay an extension fee and sign an extension agreement provided by Face Foundrie. If the franchisee chooses to retain any protected territory granted to them and Face Foundrie approves the extension, the extension fee will be $2,500.
This clause provides some flexibility for franchisees who may encounter unforeseen delays in the opening process, but it also highlights the importance of adhering to the initial timeline. The extension fee represents an additional cost that franchisees should factor into their initial investment and operating budget.
