Training 

The franchisor offers a thorough training program for its franchisees, which includes the following components:

Franchise Owner Policy and Procedure Manual: Franchisees receive a detailed manual that outlines various operational policies and procedures.

Initial Training: Conducted at the franchisor's headquarters in Easton, Maryland, or at another designated location, this training covers essential aspects of setting up and operating the franchise.

Initial Samples: Franchisees are given an initial supply of product samples, catalogs, and brochures to help them launch their business.

Advertising and Marketing Programs: The franchisor provides planning and support for advertising and marketing efforts, including promotional materials and guidance on their effective use.

Preferred Supplier Accounts: Franchisees receive assistance in establishing accounts with suppliers preferred by the franchisor.

Local Website: Each franchisee is provided with a dedicated website to promote their franchised business.

Territory Protection

The franchisor does not provide exclusive territorial rights to its franchisees. According to the Franchise Agreement, franchisees are granted non-exclusive promotional and developmental rights to sell Franchised Products and Services from their designated location anywhere in the United States, with certain limited area exceptions.

This arrangement implies that franchisees may encounter competition from other franchisees, franchisor-owned outlets, or other distribution channels or competitive brands controlled by the franchisor.

In the past, some franchisees were granted exclusive promotional and developmental rights within specific geographical territories. However, as of December 31, 2022, only 15 franchisees retained these exclusive rights. New franchisees are required to respect the existing promotional and developmental rights of these franchisees.
