What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Mr. Sandless's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Basic Service Start to Finish training involves 8 hours of on-the-job training. This training takes place either in Aston, PA, or at a local site.
This means that new Mr. Sandless franchisees may need to travel to Aston, Pennsylvania for this portion of their training, or the training may be conducted at a site closer to their location. The "local site" option provides flexibility, potentially reducing travel costs for franchisees who do not live near Aston.
However, the FDD does not specify the criteria for determining whether training occurs in Aston or at a local site. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Mr. Sandless the conditions under which local site training is offered and who bears the cost of travel and accommodation if training in Aston is required.
