What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All County's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, All County may require Managing Owners and experienced employees to attend additional training courses. These courses will be at designated times and locations determined by All County, and All County may charge reasonable fees for the training. The Managing Owner or on-premises manager must also attend All County's Annual Conference, and All County may charge reasonable fees for attendance.
After the All County business operations begin, if additional employees need training, All County may charge a fee for this training. All County may also request franchisees to provide training or assistance to other All County franchisees. If a franchisee provides such assistance, All County will reimburse them for reasonable costs and expenses.
This means that as an All County franchisee, you should be prepared for potential ongoing training expenses for yourself and your staff. It is important to factor in these potential costs when budgeting for your franchise. Additionally, there is an opportunity to be reimbursed for training assistance provided to other franchisees, which could offset some of these costs.
