What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Better Blend's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, initial training classes are held at the company's offices and business location in Cincinnati, Ohio. However, Better Blend retains the right to have franchisees train at a store location other than the Cincinnati, OH location.
The training program is scheduled based on the needs of new franchisees, with classes anticipated to occur two to four times per year. The training program utilizes the Brand Standards Manual, lectures, discussions, on-the-job demonstrations, and practice.
Up to four people can attend training at no charge, but the franchisee is responsible for covering their travel and living expenses. Both the franchisee and their general manager (or lead Blender) are required to attend the training, which must be completed to Better Blend's satisfaction at least four weeks before the business opens. If a new general manager needs training, Better Blend charges a fee, which is currently $250 per day.
