What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Fat Shack's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Introduction & History training is conducted in either Denver or Fort Collins, Colorado. This is a classroom-based session that lasts approximately 0.5 hours.
For prospective Fat Shack franchisees, this means they will need to travel to one of these Colorado locations to complete this portion of their initial training. This is important for budgeting travel expenses and time commitments before opening their franchise. The franchisee is responsible for covering their travel, living expenses, and wages during the training period for themselves and their employees.
While the FDD specifies the location for the Introduction & History training, it also mentions that Fat Shack may elect to conduct training at another location on a case-by-case basis at their discretion. Franchisees should confirm the exact training location and schedule with Fat Shack prior to making travel arrangements.
