Training

Junk Raider provides comprehensive training programs to ensure franchisees are well-equipped to operate their businesses effectively. The training is mandatory and includes several phases, tailored for both the franchisee and their managerial staff. Here are the key training programs provided:

  1. Initial Training Program
    Franchisees, including the Managing Owner and one designated manager, must complete an initial training program at least 45 days before opening. This program spans approximately three days and includes classroom and on-the-job training, which may be conducted in person or remotely. Additional attendees beyond the initial two are subject to extra fees.
  2. Supplemental Training
    If the franchise is underperforming or a new Operating Manager is hired, the franchisor may mandate supplemental training. This training may be held onsite or via online conferencing, with a standard fee of $500 per trainer per day plus related travel expenses.
  3. Refresher and System-Wide Training
    Franchisees must also attend refresher courses and system-wide training sessions as designated by the franchisor. These are designed to keep the franchisee updated on operational standards and innovations, and while instructional materials are provided, franchisees bear all associated costs like travel and lodging.

Territory Protection

Junk Raider does not provide exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. While franchisees are assigned an “Operating Territory,” the agreement explicitly states that this territory is non-exclusive. Franchisees may face competition from other Junk Raider outlets, including those owned by the franchisor or other franchisees, even within the same territory.

However, franchisees are still expected to operate solely within their designated Operating Territory and are restricted from soliciting customers outside of it. They may only serve customers in adjacent “Open Areas” under specific conditions, and this permission can be revoked by the franchisor at any time.
