The franchise offered by Aunt Millie’s (operated through Perfection Bakeries, Inc.) does not include any formal training programs. Below are the key points regarding the franchisor's approach to training:
These details indicate that the franchisee is expected to operate independently without the typical onboarding or instructional resources provided in many other franchise systems.
Aunt Millie’s provides its franchisees with an exclusive territory, referred to as a “Sales Area,” for distributing its products. This Sales Area is precisely defined using geographic boundaries such as streets, highways, or natural landmarks, and its size varies based on population, product demand, and delivery feasibility.
Once established, the Sales Area cannot be changed without mutual written consent of the franchisor and the franchisee. Despite this exclusivity, the franchisor retains certain rights within the Sales Area.
Aunt Millie’s may still sell similar products under a different trademark through its own channels or other franchises. Franchisees are not granted expansion rights or options for additional territories unless they meet specific qualifications and gain approval from the franchisor.
