This training is offered on an as needed basis at our headquarters in Sandy, Utah, or another location we designate. You must designate a manger for the franchised business and he or she must satisfactorily complete the initial training approximately 8 weeks before the opening of the franchised business. One assistant of your choosing may also attend at your option.

Your franchised business must at all times be under the day-to-day supervision of a designated manager who has satisfactorily completed our training program.
