The Up Closets franchise provides the following types of training programs:
Initial Management Training Program Up Closets requires franchisees to complete a mandatory four-day training program at its headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, or another designated location. This program, which must be completed to the franchisor's satisfaction before opening, focuses on classroom instruction and does not include on-the-job training.
Advanced Training Programs Up Closets offers mandatory or optional advanced training programs periodically. Franchisees and their principals are required to participate in ongoing training, which includes up to five days annually for national business meetings or conventions. A fee may apply for attendance, and franchisees bear the costs of travel, lodging, and other expenses.
In-Territory Training and Assistance Upon request or as deemed appropriate, Up Closets provides additional training and assistance within the franchisee's territory. Franchisees must reimburse costs for trainers, including per diem fees, travel, and lodging expenses.
Territory Protection
The Up Closets franchise provides limited territorial protection to its franchisees. Each franchise is granted a defined territory based on demographics, market potential, and geographic considerations, typically including a population of approximately 750,000 people for a large territory or 250,000 for a smaller one.
This protection means the franchisor will not establish or authorize another franchisee to operate within the defined territory, ensuring exclusivity within that area. However, territorial protection does not prevent the franchisor from operating in other capacities outside the franchisee's defined area.
