Grand Opening Promotion
Before you open your Facial Bar, you will be expected to advertise its opening and create a Grand Opening Promotion plan that we approve. You must provide us with a Grand Opening Promotion plan at least 60 days prior to the opening of your Facial Bar. During the period of time beginning 30 days before until 60 days following the opening of the Facial Bar, you must spend a minimum of $25,000 to implement a grand opening advertising and promotional campaign, of which at least $3,000 must be spent on digital marketing. Although $25,000 is the minimum, we recommend you spend up to $60,000 or more. We may require you to provide proof that these funds were spent. If you fail to spend the minimum required amount on the Grand Opening Promotion plan, we have the right to collect from you the difference between what you should have spent and what you actually spent. The Grand Opening Promotion plan is in addition to any Marketing Contributions that you must pay to us. We may require you to work with one or more vendors that we designate to execute the Grand Opening Promotion plan, and we may require you to purchase certain digital media, print media, branded promotional products, printed materials, signage, and similar items, from us or other vendors that we designa

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are expected to advertise the opening of their Facial Bar and create a Grand Opening Promotion plan, subject to Face Foundrie's approval, at least 60 days prior to opening. The Grand Opening Promotion period spans from 30 days before the Facial Bar opens until 60 days after opening.
During this 90-day period, franchisees must spend a minimum of $25,000 on the grand opening advertising and promotional campaign, with at least $3,000 allocated to digital marketing. Face Foundrie suggests that franchisees may want to spend up to $60,000 or more on the grand opening. Franchisees may be required to provide proof of these expenditures, and failure to meet the minimum spending requirement allows Face Foundrie to collect the difference between the required and actual amounts spent.
The Grand Opening Promotion plan is separate from the Marketing Contributions that franchisees must pay to Face Foundrie. Face Foundrie may also require franchisees to work with designated vendors to execute the Grand Opening Promotion plan and purchase certain items, such as digital media, print media, and branded promotional products, from Face Foundrie or its designated vendors. The Facial Bar cannot open until all signage is installed.
