What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Buff City Soap FDD, franchisees can receive on-site training, initial corporate training, and initial pre-opening training for up to 21 days. This training assists with initial corporate training and pre-opening activities for the Franchised Business, and it applies to a maximum of two locations opened by the franchisee or affiliated entities.
The training may occur at Buff City Soap's corporate office in Dallas, TX, or at a BCS Makery location chosen by the Franchisor. Initial Corporate Training lasts up to seven days. Initial Preopening Training for a BCS Makery opening is up to seven days per Makery, for a maximum of two locations.
For the first two BCS Makery openings, Buff City Soap provides up to seven days of additional local, on-site Initial Preopening Training at the franchisee's Makery, once the location has been approved for opening. Buff City Soap determines the number of days at its sole discretion. There is no additional fee for this initial on-site pre-opening support and training for the first two locations. For any opening support provided after the first two BCS Makery openings, the franchisee must pay Buff City Soap's then-current fee.
