The franchise ShippingShop offers a comprehensive, phased training program designed to prepare franchisees and their staff for successful operations. Below are the key training components provided by the franchisor:
Initial Training Program Franchisees, including the Managing Owner and one management-level employee, must attend and complete ShippingShop’s initial training program no more than 30 days before opening their center. This training includes both virtual classroom instruction via ShippingShop University and on-the-job training at the corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas. Up to four attendees are included in the Initial Training Fee, with an additional charge for more participants.
ShippingShop University This proprietary online training platform delivers virtual instruction covering administration, customer service, coaching, marketing, and operations. It supports self-paced learning and supplements in-person training requirements. The franchisor reserves the right to modify or discontinue this content at any time.
Supplemental Training The franchisor may require franchisees or their operating managers to attend additional training if operational standards are not met. These sessions can occur on-site, at corporate headquarters, or online, with a fee of $300 per trainer per day plus travel and lodging expenses. Participation may be mandated for new hires or as a remedial measure.
Refresher and System-Wide Training Programs Franchisees must attend refresher courses and system-wide training as designated by the franchisor. These sessions are conducted periodically and may include seminars and conferences. While instructors and materials are provided, franchisees are responsible for associated costs such as travel and accommodation.
Territory Protection
The franchise ShippingShop provides franchisees with a designated territory, within which it will not open or license another center using the same brand, as long as the franchisee complies with the agreement. Franchisees must focus their marketing and sales efforts within this territory and are not authorized to solicit customers outside it.
However, the franchisor retains rights to sell products or services within the territory through channels like the internet, catalogs, or telemarketing, even using the same trademarks. It may also authorize deliveries by other centers into the territory and operate in certain special markets, limiting the scope of exclusivity.
