Training 

The SuperGlass Windshield Repair Franchise offers a thorough training program for franchisees, covering both management and technical skills:

Pre-Opening Training

Management Training: A five-day course on franchise operations, held at the franchisor's training facility or a designated location. This training is required for the Franchisee or an approved manager and is included for up to three participants at no additional cost, based on the franchise package. Technical Training: Concurrently, a five-day technical training course focuses on the specifics of windshield repair. This training is vital for those who will handle the technical services within the franchise.

Post-Opening Training

Following the initial training, the franchisor provides a five-day post-opening training program in the franchisee's territory. This includes on-site support and consultation to assist with the initial phase of operations.

Additional Training and Seminars

Franchisees can request further training, which the franchisor may offer at the franchisee's expense, covering costs such as salaries, travel, lodging, and meals. Additionally, the franchisor might organize seminars or other training events, with a reasonable fee for participation.

Territory Protection

SuperGlass Windshield Repair provides its franchisees with exclusive territory protection. The size of each territory is determined by population and varies depending on the franchise package. Within their designated area, franchisees are guaranteed market exclusivity, as SuperGlass commits not to operate or authorize similar businesses in that region.

Franchisees must obtain approval before seeking customers outside their territory and may need to transfer revenues from such business to the appropriate territory owner. Although franchisees have exclusive rights to run franchise units in their territories, SuperGlass retains the right to sell products or services under its brand through different channels in any area.
