| What is the Process? |
1. |
Potential Franchisee investigates several franchisers--looks over their systems. |
2. |
Decides on a city, possibly locates a store, decides to check us out further. |
3. |
Fills out and submits the application. |
4. |
We check out the applicant and if we decide the individual is qualified, contact via e-mail, phone, or in person. Decision is made, franchisee wants franchise. We narrow down which model is desired. |
5. |
We give or send Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC). Franchisee reads it over, takes it to a lawyer. |
6. |
After waiting the required 10 days, the franchisee signs the Franchise Agreement and gives it to us along with the franchisee fee. |
| 7. | Franchisee has six months to locate a store. After locating a store, the franchisee submits the balance of the agreed upon amount to us. |
| 8. | We order inventory, manufacture racks, assemble products for delivery to the store location. |
| 9. | In between paying the franchise fee and opening the store, we schedule the franchisee into Granbury for a one week intensive training course. If the franchisee previously completed the "Do it yourself course", the week in Granbury will not be required. |
| 10. | Installer arrives on the site about a week before the opening and completes the installation. Final settlement is done upon store completion before the opening. |
