What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Burneys Sweets More's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are expected to attend training approximately 1 to 2 months before the store opening. The training is listed as 'Lectures and manuals' and is only offered as needed.
Initial training for Burneys Sweets More is conducted at their Elizabethtown, North Carolina location. The training generally spans a one-week period. The franchisee (or one of their principals) must complete the training program to the franchisor's satisfaction before they will authorize the franchisee to open their shop.
The initial franchise fee covers the cost of initial training for up to 2 people before opening. However, the franchisee is responsible for all indirect training costs, including employee salaries, travel, lodging, meals, and other living expenses incurred by the franchisee and their designees.
