The designation of the franchised location does not grant franchisees the exclusive right to any particular market or customers. Franchisees will not receive an exclusive territory. Territory Granted: Franchisees will operate their Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory store at a specific location that is referred to as the “franchised location” in the Franchise Agreement. As often as annually, the franchisor may require franchisees and/or their general manager to attend in person, at the franchisee’s expense, a national, regional or local meeting, training seminar or conference that the franchisor presents for the purpose of discussing a topic such as advertising programs, new operations methods, training, management, sales, or sales promotion, to the extent that the franchisor offers any meetings, seminars or conferences. In addition to the initial training program, the franchisor will provide up to five days of opening assistance at the franchisee’s store near the time that the store opens. The initial training program includes hands-on training in a mock retail store in the franchisor’s training center in Durango, Colorado, or via remote transmission, in the franchisor’s discretion. The training material consists of written, video and audiotaped instruction. The initial training program consists of a total of seven days of instruction and all training is currently conducted in Durango, Colorado, or via webinar or other remote transmission, in the franchisor’s discretion. The franchisor does not charge franchisees for this training for up to three individuals, although they must pay travel, living expenses and wages for them and all employees who attend the training session. Training Overview: Franchisees must complete the initial training program to the franchisor’s satisfaction. The franchisor licenses the stores to use the service mark “Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory” and related trademarks and its marketing plan and proprietary business methods. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory retail stores sell gourmet chocolates and other premium confectionery products, featuring Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory brand candy that franchisees purchase from the franchisor’s factory, confectionery items that franchisees make in the store, such as caramel apples, and non-confectionery items, including gifts and small toys. Franchise Description: The name of the franchisor is Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc.
