What training must the Director of Operations for an Auntie Annes franchise complete?

According to the 2024 Auntie Annes Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee has a Director of Operations, that individual must attend and successfully complete the Management Training Program to the franchisor's satisfaction. The FDD also states that the Director of Operations may be required to complete a modified version of the Management Training Program or any other additional training programs that Auntie Annes may require.

This means that a Director of Operations needs to be prepared to undergo comprehensive training to meet Auntie Annes' standards. The franchisor retains the discretion to modify the training program or mandate additional programs, so the Director of Operations must be flexible and willing to adapt to any changes in the training requirements.

Prospective franchisees should note that Auntie Annes reserves the right to modify its training program at any time, including the timing, frequency, length, content, format, and location of training. This flexibility allows Auntie Annes to adapt its training to meet evolving business needs and industry standards. Therefore, franchisees should confirm the specific training requirements for their Director of Operations prior to opening their Auntie Annes shop.
