What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dq Treat FDD, the People, PRIDE and Profit Training (phase 3) lasts for 4 days. This training must be completed before the Dq Treat store opens.
This phase of training is conducted at Dq Treat's franchisee support center or another location designated by ADQ. However, ADQ has the option to conduct phase 3 training online or virtually depending on the circumstances.
Prospective franchisees should note that successful completion of all training phases is mandatory for all required attendees. Dq Treat evaluates attendees based on factors such as attendance, participation, presentations, leadership, and progress in the training program. Failure to meet these standards or violation of the code of conduct may prevent an attendee from completing the program, which would delay the store opening.
