What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carvel's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Carvel retains the right to modify its training programs at any time. This includes the Management Training Program, Additional Programs, and any other training programs offered.
Carvel can change various aspects of the training, such as the timing, frequency, content, format, and location. This gives Carvel considerable flexibility in adapting its training to meet changing business needs or to incorporate new information.
For a prospective franchisee, this means the training program they initially undergo may not be identical to the training provided to future franchisees or even to their own employees later on. It is important to stay updated with any changes Carvel implements to ensure consistent operation and adherence to brand standards. Franchisees should also budget for potential costs associated with new training requirements or platforms.
