What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Apricot Lane's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Business Basics training in Phase 1 is conducted virtually through webinars and online platforms. This initial phase requires 4 hours of virtual, webinar, and online training. Franchisees must complete this phase before moving on to Phase 2.
Phase 1 is designed to be completed at home and includes self-paced activities, e-learning, and virtual learning facilitated by the Apricot Lane headquarters team. This virtual format allows new franchisees to begin their training remotely and at their own pace, providing flexibility in scheduling and location.
Phase 2 of the Apricot Lane training program includes an in-boutique experience and a buying event at a designated market or tradeshow. This second phase builds upon the virtual training of Phase 1 with hands-on experience and practical application of the concepts learned online.
