What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Dryject Franchise Disclosure Document, failure to satisfactorily complete all mandatory training sessions constitutes a breach of the Franchise Agreement.
The Dryject Franchise Agreement stipulates that certain individuals must meet the conditions for admission to and graduation from the Initial Training Program. This program is held in Pennsylvania or another designated location. The individuals who must complete this training include the franchisee (if an individual), potentially the chief operating officer or managing member, key employees, management personnel, and individuals owning 20% or more of the franchise if it's owned by a group or entity. Addendum B to the agreement will identify those required to attend.
The Initial Training Program lasts approximately four days and must be completed before the franchise opens. If any designated person fails to complete the program satisfactorily, Dryject reserves the right to extend the training. However, satisfactory completion of all mandatory training sessions is a requirement, and failure to achieve this results in a breach of the agreement.
