What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you are a new franchisee, either you or your Managing Owner (if you are a Corporate Entity), along with one designated manager, must successfully complete the initial training program to Bee Organized's satisfaction. This completion must occur no later than 45 days prior to the scheduled opening of your Bee Organized Business.
The initial training program is approximately three days long and takes place at Bee Organized's designated training facility in Overland Park, Kansas. Additional training may also be conducted virtually, as determined by Bee Organized. While Bee Organized provides initial training for you or your Managing Owner and one general manager at no additional fee, you are responsible for covering all travel expenses and employee wages associated with attending and completing the training.
Bee Organized also offers initial training to replacement operating managers, which must be completed to their satisfaction. The training is held at their facility in Overland Park, Kansas, or at a certified Bee Organized Business, and also virtually. However, franchisees are required to pay a supplemental training fee for replacement Operating Managers, which is currently $250 per manager per day.
