Can Bang Cookies reject a request for supplemental training?

According to Bang Cookies' 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can be terminated if they fail to complete supplemental training programs to the franchisor's reasonable satisfaction. However, the document does not explicitly state whether Bang Cookies can reject a franchisee's request for supplemental training.

While the FDD does not directly address the scenario of Bang Cookies rejecting a franchisee's request for supplemental training, it emphasizes the importance of completing training programs designated by the franchisor. The franchise agreement allows Bang Cookies to terminate the franchise if a franchisee fails to complete required training programs to the franchisor's satisfaction. This suggests that Bang Cookies has the authority to mandate and oversee training, but it does not clarify whether they can deny a franchisee's request for additional training.

Given the lack of explicit information, a prospective Bang Cookies franchisee should directly inquire with the franchisor about the circumstances under which a request for supplemental training might be denied. Understanding Bang Cookies's policies on this matter is crucial for franchisees who may feel the need for additional training beyond what is initially provided.
