What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Red Wagon Club's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, if additional training is deemed necessary after the initial program, the franchisee may be provided with up to 3 days of training. The cost for this additional training is the then-current fee, which is currently $1,000 per trainer, per day, plus costs and expenses. This implies that the cost could increase, as the fee is subject to change.
This additional training may be required if the Operating Principal or Designated Manager does not complete the initial training program to Red Wagon Club's satisfaction. The franchisee is also responsible for costs beyond the training fee itself, including transportation, lodging, and other associated expenses. The location and time of the additional training will be determined by Red Wagon Club.
It is important to note that failure to complete the required additional training to Red Wagon Club's satisfaction can lead to termination of the Franchise Agreement. However, if the training programs are completed satisfactorily, the franchisee and their personnel will be deemed sufficiently trained to operate a Red Wagon Club business, unless they expressly state otherwise at the end of the program.
Additionally, Red Wagon Club may require the franchisee or their Designated Manager to attend ongoing training events, online sessions, training videos, regional training, or training at events such as an annual meeting or convention. These may be required for up to 10 days during a calendar year, and the franchisee is responsible for all costs associated with attending these programs, courses, events, or meetings. Red Wagon Club may also charge a fee for these ongoing training activities.
