What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Chem Dry's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, new franchisees (unless they are existing franchisees) must complete an initial training program to Chem Dry's satisfaction before starting business operations. This training covers essential aspects of running a Chem Dry franchise.
Specifically, the initial training includes instruction on how to mix and apply cleaning solutions, use equipment to clean, and perform the services required for a Chem Dry business under normal working conditions. Franchisees will also learn how to compute estimates, solicit and maintain business, and replace inventory to effectively manage and operate their Chem Dry business.
New Chem Dry franchisees must attend a training session in Logan, Utah, or at another location designated by Chem Dry before operating their business. If the franchisee is a transferee, they must complete the training within 90 days of executing the Franchise Agreement. The initial package covers training tuition for two people. However, franchisees are responsible for all compensation, benefits, taxes, insurance, travel, and living expenses incurred while attending the training program. Chem Dry may charge tuition for additional trainees or for training associated with the transfer of an existing franchise; as of the effective date, the tuition amount is $75.00 per day per attendee.
Chem Dry has the right to require a franchisee to attend the next initial training program at the franchisee's expense or view web-based training and pass accompanying tests if the franchisee fails to satisfactorily complete the initial training program. Failure to complete the additional training program satisfactorily will result in acceleration of the Business Note and immediate termination of the Franchise Agreement.
