What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 1-800-GOT-JUNK? Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes 1.5 hours of classroom training dedicated to 'People and Culture'. This training takes place at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?'s principal offices in Vancouver, British Columbia, or another location to be determined. The initial training program covers all aspects of the business operating system, consisting of both in-class and in-field training.
This specific module on 'People and Culture' suggests that 1-800-GOT-JUNK? places importance on these aspects of the business. The training schedule indicates that each day of training begins around 8:00 AM and ends at 5:00 PM over five business days, so franchisees should plan their travel accordingly.
Prospective franchisees should note that the franchisor may also require any other director, officer, or shareholder of the franchisee's entity to attend initial training. While there is currently no charge for the initial training, franchisees are responsible for all travel and living expenses for themselves and their attendees. Continental breakfasts, lunches, and one dinner are provided on training days.
