Under what conditions can Devon Creek substitute or include online/virtual training in the initial training program?

According to Devon Creek's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Devon Creek reserves the right to substitute online/virtual training or include a mix of online/virtual training and live training at its corporate headquarters. This means that the initial four-week training program, typically held at an affiliate-owned outlet in Bohemia, New York, or another designated location, may be altered to include or consist entirely of online or virtual training.

This substitution or inclusion of online/virtual training is at Devon Creek's discretion. The FDD does not specify any particular conditions that would trigger this change, implying that Devon Creek has the flexibility to make this decision based on its own assessment of what is appropriate.

For a prospective franchisee, this means they should be prepared to complete their initial training either in person or remotely. It would be prudent to inquire with Devon Creek about the likelihood of online versus in-person training and what factors influence that decision, to better prepare for the training process.
