Training & Support |
||
Training | - | Before you open your Store, we will train you and one of your manager-level employees to operate a YOGURT L AB Store. We will provide approximately eight days of training (although the specific number of days depends on our opinion of your experience and needs) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, or another location we designate. You must attend the entire training program. Additional people beyond the first two may attend initial training if you pay our then- current training charge for each additional person (currently $500 per person per day). You also must pay for all travel and living expenses that you and your employees incur and for your employees' wages and workers' compensation insurance while they attend our initial training program. Training will occur after you sign the Franchise Agreement and while you are developing the Store. You and your attendees must complete the entire training program to our satisfaction before you may open your Store |
