What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Face Foundrie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is permitted to provide off-premises services only with the franchisor's written consent and only within their designated territory. Without this written permission from Face Foundrie, franchisees are prohibited from offering services outside of their physical Facial Bar location.
This restriction ensures that Face Foundrie maintains control over its brand and service quality, even when services are provided outside the traditional brick-and-mortar setting. By requiring written consent, Face Foundrie can evaluate each request for off-premises services individually, considering factors such as the franchisee's compliance with brand standards, the location of the proposed services, and the potential impact on other franchisees in the area.
This policy is fairly common in the franchise industry, as franchisors often seek to balance the flexibility of franchisees with the need to maintain consistency and protect the overall brand. Franchisees should be aware of this requirement and factor it into their business plans, particularly if they anticipate a significant portion of their revenue coming from off-premises services. It is important to communicate with Face Foundrie and understand the criteria for obtaining written consent for these types of services.
Despite the restriction on providing off-premises services without written consent, Face Foundrie franchisees have the freedom to solicit customers and advertise their Facial Bar in any location they choose. This allows franchisees to market their services broadly and attract customers from various areas, without being limited to a specific geographic region for advertising purposes.
