Training & Support |

| MODE | Whimsy | |
| Training | Our franchisees first take a three phase online course after which they spend one full week in Fargo at our Store Support Center and Flagship location. We send a team of 2 to every store for a full week before they open. Once open for six weeks, we offer a Phase VI one-on-one training program with our Founder and the franchisee. | We provide you an initial training program that covers material aspects of the operation of the franchised business. The topics covered are listed in the chart below. This training is offered on an as needed basis at our headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, or another location we designate. You must designate a manger for the franchised business and he or she must satisfactorily complete the initial training approximately 8 weeks before the opening of the franchised business. One assistant of your choosing may also attend at your option. |
