What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beverly Anns Cookie's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company covers specific expenses for one attendee during the initial training program held in Florence, Kentucky, which is estimated to include 16-20 hours of training. Specifically, Beverly Anns Cookie will pay for the hotel and airfare for one attendee.
However, the franchisee is responsible for all other costs associated with the training. This includes costs for any additional attendees beyond the one covered by Beverly Anns Cookie. These additional costs can include airfare, hotel, and miscellaneous travel expenses such as food and beverage purchases while traveling through airports.
The estimated initial investment table shows training expenses ranging from $140 to $950. The low estimate of $140 is for the one required attendee's miscellaneous travel expenses such as food and beverage purchases while traveling by car, assuming Beverly Anns Cookie covers the hotel, airfare, or transportation costs to their headquarters. The high estimate of $950 includes one additional attendee's airfare, hotel and miscellaneous travel expenses such as food and beverage purchases while traveling through airports. This means a franchisee should budget for these potential out-of-pocket costs when planning for the initial training.
