What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brightstar Care's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the 'Welcome to Boot Camp' training session is held in Bannockburn, IL, or any other location Brightstar Care may designate, or via e-learning. This applies to multiple training subjects, not just 'Welcome to Boot Camp'.
This means that franchisees and their employees may need to travel to Bannockburn, Illinois, for training, or attend at a different designated location. However, Brightstar Care also offers the option of completing the training via e-learning, which could save on travel costs. The specific location may vary, so franchisees should confirm the location and format of the training prior to scheduling travel.
It is important to note that the franchisee is responsible for all travel, lodging, and salary expenses associated with attending the training. The availability of e-learning options can help mitigate these costs, but franchisees should factor in these expenses when budgeting for the franchise.
