What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Extreme Art Studio's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, additional training may be required or requested during the operation of the Extreme Art Studio Business. If Extreme Art Studio determines that additional training is appropriate or necessary, whether from observation or otherwise, they can require the franchisee (or a managing member, partner, or officer designated to participate in the business) and/or any of the franchisee's managers to attend and successfully complete additional training. This includes online computer training designated by Extreme Art Studio.
The franchisee will be charged Extreme Art Studio's then-current costs for any additional training or assistance, which is currently $200 per person per day. The franchisee is also responsible for all travel and living expenses incurred by Extreme Art Studio if they send a representative to provide on-site training or assistance. If the additional training or assistance is not provided on-site at the Extreme Art Studio Business, the franchisee and their representatives are responsible for their own travel and living expenses. Franchisees and their operating owners must also attend mandatory conferences at designated locations and pay any conference fees and travel expenses.
In addition to the above, for a franchisee's first Extreme Art Studio Business, Extreme Art Studio provides up to two days of Additional On-Site Assistance at the studio at a time designated by them, approximately six months after the studio's grand opening. This additional on-site assistance is part of the training provided to new franchisees.
