Training 

The franchisor delivers an extensive initial training program for its franchisees, blending online classroom sessions with hands-on in-person training. This program encompasses:

Owner Training: The franchisee or managing owner, along with an additional individual chosen by the franchisee and approved by the franchisor, must attend and successfully complete the owner training. This training is available both online and at the franchisor's training facilities in Mead, Colorado, and is offered without any tuition or fee for the classroom portion.

Manager Training: The designated manager responsible for overseeing the Coffee Shop, along with another management-level employee, must complete both the online classroom and the on-the-job training. The on-the-job training occurs either at an operating ZIGGI'S Coffee Shop or at the franchisor's training facilities in Mead, Colorado, and is provided without any tuition or fee.

On-Site Training: For the franchisee's first ZIGGI'S Coffee Shop, the franchisor offers approximately 32 hours of on-site training at the shop location before it opens and around 432 man-hours of ongoing on-site training during the initial 14 days following the opening.

Territory Protection

The franchisor does not provide franchisees with exclusive territory rights. Franchisees are permitted to operate their Coffee Shop solely at the designated approved location and may encounter competition from other franchisees, franchisor-owned outlets, or other channels and formats under the franchisor's brand or any other brands controlled by the franchisor.

This implies that there is no territorial protection to prevent the franchisor from opening additional locations or awarding new franchises near any existing franchisee's site.
