Initial Training Program This mandatory program must be completed by the franchisee and the Designated Manager approximately 3–4 weeks prior to opening. It includes both classroom and on-the-job training covering topics such as company history, sales and marketing, billing, software, and contract presentations. It is conducted in Birmingham, Alabama, or another designated location. While the Franchisor doesn’t charge tuition for up to two individuals, all travel, lodging, and related expenses are the franchisee’s responsibility. The training concludes with tests, and satisfactory completion is required.
Opening Assistance A Franchisor representative will be sent to help staff get acquainted with Legacy’s systems and provide operational guidance during the business launch. If the franchisee requests additional assistance beyond this, they must pay the standard rates and related expenses.

Franchisees are assigned a defined territory for marketing focus, but competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or alternative channels is allowed. The Franchisor may also operate within a franchisee’s territory to service national accounts or during emergencies.
Other franchisees are restricted from marketing in your territory, but the Franchisor may still accept online orders from within it. Franchisees do not receive compensation for such activity. Overall, territorial protection is limited and non-exclusive.
