What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Buff City Soap's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor will provide opening assistance for a maximum of two locations opened by a franchisee or their affiliates. This assistance includes up to 21 days of on-site training, initial corporate training, and initial pre-opening training before or after the Makery's opening date. The training may occur at Buff City Soap's corporate office in Dallas, TX, or at a Makery location chosen by the franchisor.
This opening assistance is designed to support franchisees with their initial corporate training and pre-opening activities. The initial corporate training and pre-opening training each consist of up to seven days per Makery.
However, Buff City Soap will not provide opening assistance if the Makery is the franchisee's or its affiliates' third or subsequent location. This means that franchisees opening multiple locations will only receive the comprehensive opening support package for their first two stores. Franchisees should factor in the cost of additional training and support for subsequent locations, as they will be responsible for covering these expenses themselves.
