Are there any restrictions on Face Foundrie or its franchisees regarding soliciting or advertising in another franchisee's territory?

According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees face no restrictions on soliciting or advertising in another franchisee's territory. Face Foundrie explicitly states that franchisees can solicit customers and advertise their Facial Bar anywhere they choose. This policy extends to Face Foundrie itself and its other franchisees, meaning no party is restricted from soliciting or advertising in another's territory.

This lack of restriction implies that Face Foundrie franchisees may need to compete directly with other franchisees for customers, even within close proximity. Face Foundrie is not obligated to compensate a franchisee for customer solicitation originating from another franchise location. This open advertising policy could lead to increased marketing expenses for franchisees as they strive to maintain visibility and attract customers in a competitive environment.

While franchisees are permitted to solicit and advertise anywhere, they are only permitted to provide off-premises services within their territory with Face Foundrie's written consent. This suggests that while advertising is unrestricted, the actual provision of services outside the designated territory is controlled by Face Foundrie. Franchisees should be aware of this distinction and factor it into their business and marketing strategies.

In summary, Face Foundrie fosters a competitive environment where franchisees are responsible for actively marketing their services without territorial advertising protections. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the implications of this policy and develop a robust marketing plan to succeed in their market.
