Some of the training may include self-study/online training that you or your personnel can complete at any location. The length of and start times for each training day will vary depending on the subject matter. We also may reduce the training obligations if you or your affiliate operates a CD Store and/or you are acquiring an operating CD Store.
After the initial training program ends, you (or your Designated Principal or on-premises manager) and your other personnel who completed our formal initial training program may work at an operating CD Store that we specify for one day each week until you open your Store. We do not charge for this additional training, but you and your personnel will not receive any compensation from us or our affiliates.
You (or your Designated Principal) and other employees we designate must attend the additional brand standard training programs and participate in the other training-related requirements we reasonably require, although currently no classroom or on the job training programs are planned. We may charge a fee for required or requested additional training. You must pay all expenses incurred in training programs, including the costs of transportation, lodging, meals and any compensation for participants associated with Store. We currently have an online learning management system. If you hire a new Store manager or production manager for the Store, you must ensure that individual completes the online learning programs and other trainingrelated requirements we specify to our satisfaction within the time period we specify after he or she assumes that position. (Franchise Agreement – Sections 5.2 and 6.8)
If you sign the PUD Addendum, we will provide an initial training program on the performance of PUD Services and the use of the Order Processing System (defined below) (the "Initial PUD Training"). We plan to be flexible in scheduling Initial PUD Training.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cd One Price Cleaners' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Cd One Price Cleaners may adjust the number of classroom and on-the-job training hours based on the franchisee's and their personnel's experience. Some training may be completed through self-study or online at any location. The length and start times for each training day will vary depending on the subject matter. Cd One Price Cleaners may also reduce training obligations if the franchisee or their affiliate operates a CD Store or if they are acquiring an operating CD Store.
Cd One Price Cleaners' standard store manager initial training program for Plant Stores consists of a 2-week training program on store manager operations and a 2-week training program on production management. The initial training program for Satellite Stores consists of a 2-day training program covering transportation and related store operations issues. If a franchisee is signing a Franchise Agreement for a new CD Store, Cd One Price Cleaners provides the initial training program for up to 2 persons at no additional charge, but may charge a fee for additional people attending the initial training program, or any subsequent training, and/or for people who previously completed the initial training program and want additional training.
Cd One Price Cleaners also provides initial training on the performance of PUD (Pick-Up and Delivery) Services and the use of the Order Processing System if the franchisee signs the PUD Addendum. Cd One Price Cleaners plans to be flexible in scheduling Initial PUD Training and there are currently no fixed training schedules for these programs. The training programs are provided before the franchisee plans to start providing PUD Services.
Prospective franchisees should note that they must pay all expenses incurred in training programs, including the costs of transportation, lodging, meals and any compensation for participants associated with the Store. Cd One Price Cleaners may terminate the Franchise Agreement if they conclude that the franchisee or their personnel attending training do not appear to possess the skills necessary to properly operate the Store.
