Is there a geographic limit on where the mediation for a Face Foundrie dispute will be held?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the mediation location will be selected by the mediator. However, unless Face Foundrie and the franchisee agree otherwise, the mediation will be held in a metropolitan area within twenty miles of Face Foundrie's principal office.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that if a dispute arises that requires mediation, the franchisee may have to travel to the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area in Minnesota, as Face Foundrie's principal office is located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, which is a suburb of Minneapolis. This could involve significant travel expenses and time, depending on where the franchisee's Face Foundrie Facial Bar is located.

It is important to note that this geographic limitation can be altered if both Face Foundrie and the franchisee agree to a different location. Franchisees should consider this potential requirement when evaluating the franchise opportunity and factor in potential travel costs should mediation become necessary.
