What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company may provide or require additional refresher training programs. The FDD states that these programs will be held at a place and time designated by All Team. This means that the location of refresher training is not fixed but will be determined by All Team at its discretion.
As a franchisee, you are responsible for covering all costs associated with attending these refresher training programs, including transportation, lodging, meals, and other related expenses for both yourself and your employees. However, if you are not in default under the Franchise Agreement, All Team will charge a reasonable fee to train a reasonable number of your new employees or their trainers at All Team's corporate offices.
This policy gives All Team flexibility in choosing training locations, which could be beneficial if they opt for locations convenient for a majority of franchisees or that offer specialized training facilities. However, it also means franchisees must be prepared to travel and incur expenses for training at locations that may not be local. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the typical frequency and locations of refresher training to better estimate these potential costs.
