What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Extreme Art Studio Franchise Disclosure Document, the Initial Training Program involves training up to two people, including the franchisee (or the Operating Owner if the franchisee is an entity) and the Designated Manager (if applicable). This training covers the essential aspects of operating an Extreme Art Studio Business. The training is provided at no charge for the franchisee's first Extreme Art Studio Business, provided all individuals attend the training simultaneously.
The Initial Training Program is conducted at Extreme Art Studio's designated training facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota, another designated location, or virtually. Franchisees cannot commence their Extreme Art Studio Business until they (or their Operating Owner) and their Designated Manager (if any) complete the Initial Training Program to Extreme Art Studio's satisfaction. If Extreme Art Studio determines that the franchisee (or Operating Owner) or any Designated Manager cannot complete the training satisfactorily, they may be required to attend the program again or appoint a new Operating Owner or Designated Manager, who will then attend the next available Initial Training Program at the franchisee's expense.
If the Initial Training Program is not completed to Extreme Art Studio's satisfaction after two attempts, the Franchise Agreement may be terminated. Additional employees may attend the Initial Training Program if space permits, but the franchisee will be charged Extreme Art Studio's current training fee for each additional attendee. Extreme Art Studio retains the right to limit the number of attendees and modify the length and content of the Initial Training Program based on the attendee's experience. The scheduling, duration, contents, and manner of the Initial Training Program are determined by Extreme Art Studio at its discretion, and attendance may be delayed until a suitable time near the grand opening date of the Franchised Business.
