What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chesters's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chesters can charge up to $1,000 per day for additional training or assistance. This fee is incurred when franchisees require training and assistance beyond what Chesters typically provides. Payment for these services is due via credit card or automatic debit as the charges are incurred.
This additional training or assistance may be necessary if a franchisee is struggling with certain aspects of the business or requires specialized guidance. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the circumstances under which this fee may be charged and to factor it into their financial planning. While the initial franchise fee covers a certain level of training, ongoing support beyond that level comes at an additional cost.
Franchisees should inquire about the specific situations that might necessitate additional training and the typical duration of such training to better estimate potential costs. Understanding the scope of standard training and support versus additional support is crucial for managing expenses and ensuring the successful operation of a Chesters franchise.
