What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Jersey Mike's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the classroom training hours dedicated to 'Welcome to Phase 2' depends on the training location. If the training occurs at the Training Center in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, or another designated location in New Jersey, 0.5 hours are dedicated to 'Welcome to Phase 2'. However, if the training takes place at various locations outside of New Jersey, there is no specified time for 'Welcome to Phase 2'.
This distinction in training hours based on location is important for prospective franchisees. Franchisees attending Phase 2 training in New Jersey will receive a brief 0.5-hour introduction to the phase, while those training in other locations do not have this specific session listed. This could mean the content is covered elsewhere or omitted entirely.
Prospective franchisees should clarify with Jersey Mike's the specific content covered in the 'Welcome to Phase 2' session and how the training differs between the New Jersey location and other training locations. Understanding these differences will help franchisees prepare for their training and ensure they receive comprehensive instruction regardless of the location.
