The franchisor or affiliates may offer, directly or indirectly, financing for the franchisee’s inventory, equipment, signage, fixtures and other construction costs for the types of franchises disclosed in the FDD of GNC. Before selecting a financing program, GNC must qualify the franchisee according to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, creditworthiness. The franchisor reserves the right to refuse financing to the franchisee, even if the franchisee qualifies, at their sole discretion. GNC may also finance replacements for equipment, fixtures and inventory during the term of the Franchise Agreement. GNC will not finance ongoing store operations, nor do they finance any new or existing franchisees that purchase existing franchised stores.
培訓:
The franchisee must successfully complete the three phases of initial training to the franchisor’s satisfaction to be eligible to open a New Franchise or Conversion Store. To successfully complete Phase I training, franchisees will be required to spend up to 40 hours of on-the-job training in a company-owned GNC Store. This training will provide franchisees with an orientation to the operation of a GNC Store. Phase II training requires that franchisees attend up to a five day classroom training program Phase II training will take place at the franchisor’s Franchise Support Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or such other location designated by GNC and must be completed prior to the opening of the store. Phase III Training for a New Franchise Store with a new franchisee is an up to seven-day process at the franchisee’s store. GNC does not require any additional initial training if franchisees successfully complete Phase I Phase II and Phase III training. At its option, GNC may require any manager subsequently employed by franchisees to attend and complete to its sole satisfaction the initial training program. GNC may require that franchisees attend additional training programs or periodic refresher courses at such times and places as GNC designates.
加盟區域劃分:
In the franchise agreement, the franchisor grants the right to operate a store at a specific location once it is approved. The franchisor will grant the franchisee a protected territory within a particular radius measured from the public entrance to the Store (not the mall or strip center entrance) for a specified period of time. If the approved location is located in an enclosed shopping mall, the protected territory will generally encompass the shopping mall premises (including the parking lot). If the approved location is not located in a shopping mall, the size of the protected territory will vary depending on a number of factors, including demographic barriers, market strength measured by various market data profile studies, population density, median income per household, and the categories of products to be offered at the franchisee’s store, particularly in relation to the competition in the relevant market.
加盟簽約時間:
The length of the franchise agreement commences on the store opening date and ends on the earlier of 10 years from the store opening date, or the expiration or termination of the sublease/lease for the store. If the franchisee meets the requirements, he or she can renew their franchise for two additional consecutive five year terms.
