What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Kidokinetics's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees who operate an existing Kidokinetics business are not required to complete the Enhanced Business Coaching and Training Services. However, they have the option to request this training and pay the associated Enhanced Business Coaching and Training Fee.
This policy provides flexibility for existing Kidokinetics business operators. If a franchisee feels they need additional support or coaching, they can access these services by paying the specified fee. This allows franchisees to tailor their training and support to their specific needs and circumstances.
For prospective franchisees, this means that while initial training is mandatory, ongoing coaching is optional for those with existing businesses. This could be beneficial for those looking to expand their Kidokinetics operations, as they can leverage additional training to ensure consistent quality and service across multiple locations, if they deem it necessary.
