What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Boulder Designs' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the hands-on training in the facility takes place at their headquarters in Waco, TX, or at another site that they may designate.
The training schedule includes hands-on training in the facility on Day 2 and Day 3 of the BootCamp Training. Additionally, on Day 5, franchisees receive 3 hours of hands-on training in the facility, covering an overview of techniques learned, business planning, expectations, equipment/trailer safety, graduation, and a review of how to load the trailer.
For prospective Boulder Designs franchisees, understanding the location and content of hands-on training is crucial for logistical planning and assessing the practical skills they will acquire. The fact that training can occur at alternative designated sites introduces some uncertainty, so franchisees should confirm the exact training location well in advance. Knowing the specific topics covered during hands-on sessions allows franchisees to anticipate the learning curve and prepare targeted questions to maximize the value of the training.
