The two week portion of the initial training program is conducted at a Big O Store. This training can be conducted by an existing franchisee of Big O at that franchisee's approved location, or at your Big O Store location if approved by the Training Department. This portion of the training program consists of "hands-on" training in front office skills (such as marketing and customer relations) and back room skills (such as recommended accounting procedures based upon our business model, receiving tires, stacking tires and clean-up). The configuration, content and timing of classroom training and "hands on" training may be determined based upon time and attendance considerations of each training session.
