Getting Started:

Therefore, each franchisee is required to contribute up to 2% of gross sales into the creative marketing fund, collected weekly for the continuing support of P.O.P. materials, regional advertising, and your local web site presence.

Training:

In addition to 6 weeks of training for you and 2 of your key people and spending time with you during your first two weeks of operation, you will receive continuing support from your franchise consultant. Some of that support will be in the form of audits on your operation, to better help you in your business by encouraging and training you in the use of cost effective tools and methods to monitor and improve your results as we work toward maximizing sales and profits.
