Abbey Carpet Co., Inc. provides training programs to support its franchisees, focusing particularly on enhancing operational and sales capabilities.
Voluntary Regional Training Programs: The franchisor may offer regional training sessions that are voluntary for members. These programs concentrate on sales and management skills development. Franchisees who choose to attend are responsible for associated costs, including a per-trainee fee, travel, accommodation, and meals.
Store Conversion and Setup Support: Although not labeled explicitly as training, Abbey provides on-site assistance to help franchisees convert their existing showrooms to conform with the Abbey Showroom standards. This includes delivering display racks, samples, and providing a store design consultant to assist in the layout and aesthetic of the store, which supports the franchisee in understanding and implementing the brand image and operational setup.
Territory Protection
Abbey Carpet Co., Inc. does provide a form of territory protection to its franchisees. Upon entering into a Membership Agreement, franchisees are granted a designated geographic territory, which is officially detailed in Schedule "A" of the agreement.
Within this assigned territory, Abbey commits not to open or license another showroom using the Abbey trade name, which offers a degree of territorial exclusivity. However, this protection is not absolute.
Franchisees may still face competition from other Abbey outlets or programs, such as the Abbey Floors At Home initiative, and from affiliates like Floors To Go that may operate nearby.
