Is a Boulder Designs franchisee required to attend a refresher training and certification course as a condition of renewal?

Based on the 2025 Boulder Designs Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor shall make its initial training programs and re-boot training available to the franchisee and its Internal Manager. However, the FDD does not explicitly state that re-boot training is mandatory for franchise renewal.

While the FDD outlines the initial training program and mentions re-boot training, it does not specify whether attending a refresher or re-certification course is a prerequisite for renewing the franchise agreement. The initial training covers various aspects of operating a Boulder Designs business, including operational issues, resale, transfer, renewals, and assignment training.

To clarify whether refresher training is required for renewal, a prospective Boulder Designs franchisee should directly ask the franchisor about the specific conditions for franchise renewal, including any mandatory training or certification requirements. This information is crucial for understanding the ongoing obligations and costs associated with maintaining the franchise.
