The franchisor offers a well-structured initial training program tailored for franchisees and their management teams.
Initial Training Program
The Spice & Tea Exchange franchise delivers an Initial Training Program overseen by seasoned professionals experienced in franchise retail and the spice and tea industry. This comprehensive program includes both classroom and hands-on training, covering all essential aspects of operating a franchise.
Compliance with Local Laws
Franchisees must be aware of and comply with additional training requirements mandated by their state or local authorities before opening their business. It is their responsibility to ensure adherence to these regulations, which may include specific training prerequisites.
On-Site Training
In addition to classroom instruction, The Spice & Tea Exchange offers on-site training provided by members of the corporate team. This Opening Team supports the store's launch, offering between 68 to 105 man-hours of practical, day-to-day operational training.
The Spice & Tea Exchange franchise provides franchisees with a designated location, known as the "Site," situated within a "Protected Area" inside a larger "Market Area."
Typically, the minimum Protected Area covers a 1-mile radius from the center of the Site. In urban settings, however, the franchisor may choose a smaller radius or an alternative method to define the Protected Area.
As long as franchisees adhere to the Franchise Agreement, the franchisor commits not to establish or grant another franchise for a Store within the franchisee's Protected Area.
