Initial Training: Grasons conducts an initial training program for the Operating Principal and general managers, which must be completed to the franchisor’s satisfaction before the franchisee can open. This training spans 5 to 6 days, with the 6th day being optional, and includes classroom instruction, lectures, on-the-job demonstrations, and practice, held in Huntington Beach, CA or virtually.

However, the territory is not exclusive. Grasons reserves the right to operate or license similar businesses under different names and to sell products or services through other channels like the Internet or direct marketing.
