What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big O Tires' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Facilitated Training program can be conducted at the company's training facilities, in an online virtual classroom, or at any geographical location, at Big O Tires' discretion. The Big O Tires Training Department also has the ability to relocate any or all portions of the Facilitated Training program from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, to an alternate site within the Training Department's sole discretion.
This means that new Big O Tires franchisees may need to travel to a designated training facility, participate in online sessions, or receive training at a location chosen by Big O Tires. The location could vary depending on the specific program and the discretion of Big O Tires.
Big O Tires also offers optional online training through its Learning Management System (LMS), which includes various preselected training programs relevant to the Big O Tires system. Franchisees should stay informed about any changes to the training program, including potential fees for the LMS, as these are subject to change.
