What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Fat Shack's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial training program includes 0.5 hours of classroom training dedicated to the Introduction & History of The Fat Shack. This portion of the training takes place in either Denver or Fort Collins, Colorado.
In addition to the classroom training, Fat Shack also provides on-the-job training. However, the Introduction & History of The Fat Shack segment does not have any on-the-job training hours associated with it. The total initial training program consists of 5 hours of classroom training and 15 hours of on-the-job training.
Prospective franchisees should consider that the training location is primarily in Colorado, and they will need to factor in travel and accommodation expenses. The relatively short time dedicated to the brand's history suggests that Fat Shack prioritizes practical operational skills over extensive background information during the initial training.
