Under what circumstances does a Bombs Away franchisee have to pay a replacement/additional training fee, and what is the current fee per day?

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may incur a replacement or additional training fee under specific circumstances. If a franchisee sends a manager or other employee to the Bombs Away training program after the franchise location has opened, the franchisee will be charged the then-current training fee. As of the date of the FDD, this fee is $350 per day. This fee is due prior to attending the training.

This policy means that the initial training included in the franchise fee covers only the original franchisee or a designated representative. If the franchisee wishes to train additional staff or replace a previously trained manager, they will be responsible for covering the cost of this additional training. This fee covers the expense of Bombs Away providing the training and resources to new personnel after the initial setup.

For a prospective Bombs Away franchisee, this highlights the importance of adequately training initial staff and planning for potential future training needs. Budgeting for this potential expense is crucial, as is understanding that the $350 per day fee is subject to change, as it is the 'then-current' training fee. Franchisees should confirm the current training fee before sending personnel for additional training.
