What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Aplus's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, additional training is provided at the discretion of Aplus, and they may require franchisees and their staff to complete such training. Aplus provides this additional training at no charge for the first two attendees. However, for each additional person attending the training beyond the first two, Aplus charges $1,000 per week.
In addition to the training fees, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with hotel accommodations, travel expenses, and wages for themselves and their staff members attending the training. This applies to both the initial training program and any additional training provided by Aplus.
Prospective Aplus franchisees should factor these costs into their budget when planning for staff training, especially if they anticipate needing more than two employees to attend additional training sessions. Understanding the costs associated with training is crucial for managing expenses and ensuring that staff members are adequately prepared to operate the Aplus store effectively.
