What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bath Tune Up's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost for optional meetings and trainings ranges from $100 to $1,500. The specific cost depends on the venue and mode of training. These fees are due by the registration date.
In addition to the registration fee, franchisees are responsible for covering their own travel, accommodation, and meal expenses related to these optional meetings and trainings. These additional costs are due as required by the service providers, meaning franchisees need to budget not only for the meeting itself but also for all associated travel expenses.
While attendance at the Annual Convention is mandatory, these optional meetings and trainings provide additional opportunities for franchisees to enhance their skills and knowledge. Participating in these optional programs could help a franchisee improve their business operations, but it will require an additional investment beyond the initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties.
