What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brueggers Bagels's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a transferee, including their Operating Partner if the transferee is an entity, and any of the transferee's employees who have not previously completed an approved training program, must complete the training programs in effect for new franchisees at the time of transfer. The transferee is responsible for covering the expenses associated with this training.
This requirement ensures that anyone taking over a Brueggers Bagels franchise is properly trained in the Brueggers Bagels system. This applies whether the transferee is an individual, a business entity, or an existing Brueggers Bagels franchisee. The training covers operational standards, customer service protocols, and other essential aspects of running the franchise.
The financial responsibility for training falls on the transferee, which means they need to factor in these costs when considering the purchase of a franchise. This is a standard practice in franchising, as the new owner benefits directly from the training and it ensures they are fully prepared to operate the business according to Brueggers Bagels's standards. It is important to note that the transfer will not be approved until the training is completed.
