STEP 7

Begin the Training

Let's begin the comprehensive training program! The initial phase offers up to two weeks at HQ in Minneapolis, approximately twelve weeks before the franchisee is scheduled to open. This hands-on instruction covers administrative, operational, and sales/marketing matters. During phase two, an experienced trainer from Nashville Coop will provide on-site training at the new location for up to five days to assist with the commencement of operations.

Backed by the Coop

The Franchisor negotiates quantity discounts on behalf of its members, passing some or all of these savings on. It will also facilitate the ordering process through its internal purchasing system. Nashville Coop provides support and guidance to franchisees on how to manage their books, but they should hire their own CPA for their individual business. Management and leadership will continue to research methods and techniques for franchise operations that enhance profitability.
