Not necessarily; Duck Donuts is looking for prospective international franchisees who have management and business experience, with strong operational and financial resources.

Our focus is to recruit prospective international franchisees who are interested in developing Duck Donuts in their home country, as well as the opportunity to operate a region in select cities in the US.

A potential international franchisee must provide a comprehensive and detailed three to five year business plan, which includes a management team that is devoted 100% to the development and operation of the Duck Donuts business. Training for the management team is accomplished through a 4 week training program conducted by Duck Donuts training personnel. The training program consists of 2 weeks in an existing market and 2 weeks in country.

The time needed to become an international franchisee varies depending primarily upon the market and any franchise disclosure, registration that might be required.

The international franchise fee will vary by market and is based on a cost recovery calculation and market potential of the number of units possible in a market. These fees do not include any development or startup costs for the locations or working capital. There is no additional fee for initial training, any agreed equipment and supplies are to be purchased separately.
