Puddle Pool Services offers a structured and detailed training program to ensure that franchisees are well-prepared to operate their businesses effectively. The training programs include:
Initial Management Training Program Franchisees must complete a 78-hour Initial Management Training Program either virtually or at a location designated by the franchisor. Up to three participants can attend this training at no additional cost, while extra attendees are charged $1,000 each. The program covers classroom instruction, hands-on training, and operational procedures and must be completed to the franchisor’s satisfaction.
Opening Assistance and Training Materials The initial training includes instruction using cleaning supplies, manuals, and relevant documentation. Franchisees are required to bring tools such as a cellphone, laptop, and planner. Although the instructional cost is included in the franchise fee, all personal travel and meal expenses are the responsibility of the franchisee.
Ongoing and Additional Training Puddle Pool Services may require franchisees to participate in additional mandatory or optional training programs, including annual conventions. These may last up to three days per year and are held at locations designated by the franchisor. Franchisees bear the costs for travel, lodging, and any tuition fees applicable to these sessions.
Territory Protection
Puddle Pool Services provides franchisees with a defined “Protected Area,” which generally includes a group of contiguous zip codes based on factors like pool ownership demographics and geographic layout.
The area typically contains up to 10,000 households with pools, and if a franchisee wants a larger territory, they must pay an additional fee per pool. As long as the franchisee is in compliance, the franchisor will not open another Puddle Pool Services location or grant one to someone else within this Protected Area.
However, Puddle Pool Services retains the right to sell products and services within the Protected Area through alternative distribution methods such as the internet, retail channels, or third parties. Franchisees do not receive compensation for these sales, and they may not use these channels themselves without approval.
