What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Burneys Sweets More FDD, franchisees are expected to attend training approximately one to two months before the store opening. The training is conducted through lectures and manuals, and it is only offered as needed.
This pre-opening training is a crucial step for new franchisees to familiarize themselves with the Burneys Sweets More operational system. The timing ensures that the knowledge gained is fresh and relevant as they prepare to launch their business.
Prospective franchisees should note that the training schedule is contingent upon need, which means there might be some flexibility or potential delays depending on the circumstances. It is important to maintain open communication with the franchisor to stay informed about the training schedule and any potential adjustments.
