What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Mrcool's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated cost for travel and lodging expenses to attend the pre-opening initial training program ranges from $740 to $3,600. Mrcool does not charge a fee for the pre-opening initial training.
This estimate covers expenses like airlines, hotels, and restaurants. The franchisee is responsible for arranging and incurring these costs directly. This means the franchisee will need to budget for transportation to the training location, accommodation during the training, and meals.
Prospective Mrcool franchisees should consider that these are just estimates, and actual costs may vary depending on factors such as distance to the training location, choice of accommodation, and personal spending habits. It would be prudent to research travel costs from your location to the training site and factor in potential fluctuations in airline and hotel prices when planning your initial investment. Contacting current franchisees may provide additional insight into the actual costs they incurred for travel and lodging during their initial training.
