What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Jersey Mikes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Jersey Mikes may require experienced franchisees, their controlling principals, managers, or employees to attend refresher training programs or seminars. Franchisees are responsible for all travel, room, and board expenses associated with these programs.
The maximum number of refresher training programs or seminars that Jersey Mikes can require attendance at is two per calendar year. These programs or seminars can be conducted at locations designated by Jersey Mikes or virtually, but always at the franchisee's expense.
These refresher programs are in addition to the initial training that new franchisees and their staff must complete before opening a Jersey Mikes restaurant. The initial training covers both classroom and hands-on in-store training, and Jersey Mikes reserves the right to conduct this training virtually.
