Number of units
Junbi had 7 total units in 2024, of which 5 were franchised-owned and 2 company-owned.
Junbi provides a structured and phased training program to ensure franchisees are thoroughly prepared to operate their business effectively. Here are the main components:
Initial Training Program The Managing Owner and one manager must complete Junbi’s initial training within 45 days before opening. The training may be delivered at Junbi’s designated facility in Los Angeles or virtually, spanning approximately one week. It covers key operational areas and is required for the shop to begin operations.
Supplemental Training Junbi may offer or require additional training at the franchisee’s shop or remotely. If required, the franchisee must pay a supplemental training fee of $300 per trainer per day plus travel and lodging expenses. This training is also mandatory when a new Operating Manager is hired or if performance issues arise.
System-Wide and Refresher Training Junbi may establish annual system-wide training sessions or refresher courses, generally not exceeding five days per year. These are conducted at designated affiliate locations and focus on standardizing and updating operations across the network.
Territory Protection
Junbi grants franchisees a Designated Territory that typically spans a two-mile radius from the approved shop location, though this may vary depending on local population density, demographics, or geography.
For shops in captive market venues like malls or stadiums, the territory may be limited strictly to the facility’s boundaries. Once assigned and while the franchisee remains in compliance, Junbi will not authorize another franchise location within the Designated Territory.
However, the protection is not absolute. Junbi reserves the right to accept online orders, make sales through alternative channels, or use different trademarks within a franchisee's territory.
