What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Crawlspace Medic FDD, initial training will take place at the Crawlspace Medic headquarters or at another affiliated outlet. These locations are currently in Columbia, South Carolina. The training provided will align with the franchisor's training manuals.
This means that new Crawlspace Medic franchisees should plan to travel to Columbia, South Carolina, for their initial training program. This detail is important for budgeting and logistical planning, as franchisees will need to factor in travel and accommodation expenses.
For franchisees who sign a multiple store development agreement, keep in mind that the FDD states that the developer will not receive any initial training related to each additional Crawlspace Medic outlet. The FDD states that the training received pursuant to the initial Franchise Agreement is sufficient to allow the developer to construct, equip, open, and operate each of the Crawlspace Medic outlets in the Development Area.
