Regarding Deck Medic franchise renewal, are franchisees and owners required to complete additional training prior to the renewal term?

Based on the 2024 Deck Medic Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no explicit mention of mandatory additional training for franchisees or owners as a condition for renewal of their franchise agreement, except in the case of a transfer. However, in the state of Minnesota, Article 15.B regarding "Conditions for Renewal" is supplemented with language to protect the franchisee's rights under the Minnesota Franchise Act.

Specifically, in the context of a franchise transfer, the document states that the transferee, along with their managing owner, managers, and other applicable employees, must complete any training programs in effect for Deck Medic franchisees. This training would be at the transferee's expense and upon terms and conditions set forth in the agreement or as reasonably required by Deck Medic.

While the FDD does not specify required training for franchise renewal, it is important for prospective franchisees to discuss renewal conditions, including any potential training requirements, with Deck Medic directly. This will ensure a complete understanding of all obligations for maintaining the franchise agreement beyond its initial term.
