What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the offsite management training takes place at a location that is mutually agreed upon by Camp Margaritaville and the franchisee. Specifically, the training will be held at a Camp Margaritaville Resort or another Margaritaville-branded venue. This training is required for key personnel.
The offsite training program lasts approximately three weeks and must be completed no later than 30 days before the Camp Margaritaville location opens. The franchisee is responsible for all costs associated with the trainees, including wages, salaries, housing, travel-related expenses, and per diem charges, subject to a mutually agreed-upon budget.
However, the franchisee will not be responsible for costs or expenses related to the training venue itself or the venue's employees. This arrangement is typical in franchising, where the franchisee bears the cost of training their personnel, while the franchisor covers the expenses of providing the training location and staff.
