What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Auntie Annes's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, all trainees attending the Management Training Program must be over 18 years of age. Additionally, trainees must meet any minimum experience requirements that Auntie Annes specifies.
This means that if you are considering an Auntie Annes franchise, anyone you designate as a Required Trainee (typically two managers) must be at least 18 years old to participate in the initial management training program. Auntie Annes also has the discretion to set specific minimum experience criteria for trainees, though the document does not specify what those requirements might be.
As a prospective franchisee, it's important to clarify with Auntie Annes what specific experience requirements are currently in place for trainees. This will help you ensure that your designated managers meet all qualifications before attending the Management Training Program. Not meeting these requirements could potentially delay the opening of your franchise or necessitate finding alternative trainees who do qualify.
