What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee transfers their store to a new owner, the new owner's management personnel must satisfactorily complete 7 Brew's then-current Initial Training. The FDD states that this training must be completed either before or after the transfer's proposed effective date, as determined by 7 Brew.
This means that a prospective 7 Brew franchisee who is purchasing an existing store must factor in the time and cost of training into their transition plan. 7 Brew has the discretion to decide whether the training occurs before or after the transfer is finalized, giving them significant control over the process.
It is important to note that the FDD does not specify the exact length of the initial training program, so a prospective franchisee should confirm the duration and content of the training with 7 Brew. Additionally, the transferee is responsible for the costs associated with the training, including employee compensation, travel, and lodging.
