Training 

The franchisor offers a comprehensive initial training program designed for franchisees and their management teams. This program covers a wide range of topics, including the company’s history, philosophy, core values, and business expectations.

It also includes detailed instruction on using the proprietary software (WishPortal), as well as guidance on marketing and advertising, management procedures, business systems, and franchise reporting requirements.

Continuous Support and Training

Beyond the initial training, the franchisor provides ongoing support and may mandate attendance at up to two national business meetings or annual conventions each year. These events are tailored to offer further learning opportunities and business updates.

Specialized Training for Installers and Designers

For franchisees employing installers or designers, specialized training is mandatory. The franchisor charges a training fee for this specialized instruction, and franchisees are responsible for all associated costs and expenses for their trainees’ participation in these programs.

Additional Training Provisions

The franchisor may require additional training based on a franchisee’s experience level, the necessity for retraining specific personnel, or as a condition for resolving any operational issues. Franchisees may also request supplementary training beyond the initial program, for which the franchisor reserves the right to charge a training fee.

Territory Protection

The franchisor ensures that you will have the right to operate a ShelfGenie business within a designated territory, offering you limited territory protection. Your franchise agreement will specify an area within which you have exclusive rights to operate and market your ShelfGenie business.

The size of this territory may vary based on the population density of the area, and adjustments might be made upon renewal of the franchise agreement if necessary. While you benefit from limited territory protection, the agreement does not extend exclusive territorial rights beyond the specified area.

However, as long as you remain in full compliance with your Franchise Agreement, the franchisor will not operate or grant a franchise for another ShelfGenie business with rights to market within your territory during the term of your agreement.
