What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Bigfoot Forestry Franchise Disclosure Document, the FDD does not specify a particular location where equipment operation training is conducted. However, it does mention that Phillip Gillian, the Director of Field Operations, provides instruction on matters relating to operations and equipment, including use and maintenance. Phillip has 27 years of experience in the relevant field.
While the FDD does not state where the equipment operation training takes place, it does state that Bigfoot Forestry may provide onsite training and assistance, for which the franchisee must reimburse all travel expenses incurred by Bigfoot Forestry.
To gain a better understanding of where the equipment operation training is held, a prospective franchisee should ask Bigfoot Forestry for details regarding the location of the training, if it is held at a specific facility, or if it is conducted on-site at the franchisee's location.
