Data Based On: 19 franchised Facial Bars that were in operation for the entire period from March 1, 2023, to February 29, 2024.

* Average gross revenue for 19 franchised units of $777,173 is directly from the 'All (19 Facial Bars)' column of the 'Franchised Facial Bars' table on page 2. Median gross revenue, top quartile revenue ($1,207,832 from 'Top Quartile'), and bottom quartile revenue ($365,222 from 'Bottom Quartile') are also directly from this table. Average gross profit was estimated by first calculating the average Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) percentage from the three corporate-owned Facial Bars' P&L on Page 6: Average Corporate COGS ($235,832.67) / Average Corporate Gross Sales ($1,456,010) = 16.20%. This percentage was then applied to the average franchised gross revenue: $777,173 * (1 - 0.1620) = $651,293. Average net profit and best guess profit range were estimated using the 'NET PROFIT' percentages from the three corporate-owned Facial Bars' P&L (Page 6). These corporate P&L figures were explicitly adjusted to include franchisee-specific expenses (7% Royalty, 3% Marketing Contribution, $4,200 Technology Fee) as noted on Page 7. The net profit percentages for the three corporate units were 29.39%, 30.00%, and 31.46%. The best guess profit low was calculated as 29.39% * $777,173 = $228,411. The best guess profit high was 31.46% * $777,173 = $244,499. The average net profit was calculated using the average of these percentages: ((29.39% + 30.00% + 31.46%) / 3) * $777,173 = 30.28% * $777,173 = $235,354.

Face Foundrie Franchise Analysis

In the crowded beauty and spa sector, Face Foundrie's quick-service facial bar concept has franchisees posting numbers that rival much larger chains, as detailed in Item 19. With a short track record since franchising began in 2020 and a modest footprint, the system's SBA loan history reveals unusual lender enthusiasm for this newcomer. What does this mean for your shot at outsized returns in high-traffic retail spots?

Item 7 lays out the financial entry: initial investment spans $334,200 to $670,250 for 1,400-2,200 sq ft locations, kicked off by a $45,000 franchise fee. Ongoing costs include 7% royalty on gross sales, 3% brand fund contribution, and a $350 monthly technology fee. Item 19 shines brightest, showing average gross revenue of $777,173 across reporting units, with a median of $761,693—impressive for a young brand. Estimated profits range from $228,411 to $244,499 after expenses, suggesting healthy 29-32% margins if achieved, though variance depends on location and operations.

System health metrics paint a robust picture: 30 franchised locations plus 6 corporate, up 58% from 19 in 2022 to 30 in 2023 per Item 20, with 21 projected new units signaling aggressive expansion. Nineteen SBA loans averaging $349,384 underscore bank confidence, rare for such a nascent network. No major red flags in terminations or transfers noted, positioning Face Foundrie as a high-growth play in beauty services—but execution in competitive retail will be key to hitting those Item 19 benchmarks.
