What is a Franchise Discovery Day?

Franchise Discovery Day is an Important Step to Move Forward

Deciding whether to join a franchise is a big decision, and you want to have as much information about the franchisor as possible, which is why SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service® invites potential owners to Franchise Discovery Day once they’ve shown serious interest.

Discovery Day is an opportunity to meet our leadership and franchise development teams. You’ll learn more about our history, vision, proven systems, and keys to success as a SpeeDee owner. 

We’ll discuss what it means to be part of a franchise system and the day-to-day details of running a business, such as customer service, promoting your business, and managing employees.

That said, it’s important to do your research before Franchise Discovery Day so you’re prepared to ask questions and learn more about us.

Sharing information 

If you’ve never attended a Franchise Discovery Day, you may not know what to expect. Discovery Day is an in-depth Teams meeting that allows you to talk with SpeeDee staff, attend presentations about our business, and learn about our company culture.

You’ll have a chance to ask important questions. For example, if you’ve been wondering about training, vendor relationships, or support, you can ask about them during Franchise Discovery Day. Plus, we’ll walk you through the final steps to opening a franchise.

Your takeaways

• Gaining a full understanding of our company ethos and culture.
• Answers to questions that may come up when you speak with other attendees.
• Meeting/interacting with staff who’ll train and support you as a franchisee.
• Getting our feedback about your business plan and overall strategy.

Answering your questions

Our goal in Discovery Day is to be a resource for you so you have the information you need before moving forward.

Starting a franchise can be one of the biggest (and best) decisions you make. But before you get started, we’ll help you work through the details. During the process of asking questions and getting to know us, we’ll get to know you better, too.

One of our franchisees, Lynn Malone, had this to say, “Support from SpeeDee has been top shelf all the way. Our franchise support director is very responsive. The marketing folks are top shelf. Everything I expected (SpeeDee) would do they have done, and they have done things I didn’t expect — just the responsiveness.”

Making a decision

During our Franchise Discovery Day, you’ll get the information you need to make the final decision about owning an automotive aftermarket franchise. But no one expects you to make an immediate decision. We tell potential franchisees to bring their questions — not a checkbook. 

Discovery Days help you — and us — decide if our franchise is the right fit. Once everyone is ready to move forward, then we’ll take the next steps to starting your franchise.
