What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Aw's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes specific on-the-job training hours for dough preparation. A franchisee can expect to spend 5 hours in on-the-job training learning how to prepare the dough. This training takes place in Chicago, IL.
The initial training program also includes classroom training and covers other essential aspects of running an Aw franchise, such as the history of the franchise and introductions to the system. However, the dough preparation segment focuses solely on the practical, hands-on component.
Prospective franchisees should consider that while the FDD outlines the core components of the training program, Aw may modify the program based on the franchisee's skills and experience. It is important to confirm the exact training schedule and content with Aw to ensure a full understanding of what the training will entail.
