Training starts with an intensive two weeks in store, prior to your official opening and a one week handover within the Franchise Partner’s own Store.

We take care of site selection and will look after all lease negotiations. You will have full access to instore POS equipment and software along with a full software reporting system along with training and operations software systems. You will have a designated Field Manager visiting weekly for the first month of operation, then you will have scheduled fortnightly visits with extra assistance if any kind of help is needed.
We provide a constructive environment with regular Franchise Partner meetings. Of course you have Head Office providing help and assistance, although you also have the team of Franchise Partners prepared to help with guidance, as we work towards not only your own individual stores success – but overall Team success for the Walker’s Doughnuts Family!

Here’s how we get you started on a journey to a successful business:

7  Steps away from making Dough!

  1. Register your interest with us by completing the enquiry form.
  2. Our Franchise Recruitment Manager will contact you for a conversation and to provide you with an application form to see if you’re the passionate person and keen owner/operator we’re on the look out for. This is your chance to ask questions about us too and find out if we’re the doughnuts you’ve been dreaming about.
  3. Next up we meet! You’ve looked over our info pack & hopefully gone for a bite at one of our stores so we’ll get down to discussing the Walker’s Doughnuts business model, your experience, financials & stability and make sure it’s a match made in Doughnut heaven.
  4. Now that we approve of each other, it’s time to get the process really started. You’ll be asked to pay a fully refundable deposit of $3,300 which will go towards the cost of franchise & disclosure document preparation.
  5. Once your business & financial due diligence is complete, you will meet with the Walker’s Doughnuts franchisors, Jim & Rose, for your approval meeting. All things going swimmingly, you will be issued with our franchise agreements in their final form, Welcome to Walker’s!
  6. Once the agreements are signed, along with the payment of the Franchise Fee, you will be given a 7 day cooling off period before we go any further. We want to be 100% sure this is the right fit for you and do make sure you’re consulting your advisers.
  7. Congratulations you’re now part of something wonderful. Next step is building, hiring, training and before you know it – the Grand Opening of your very own Walker’s Doughnuts, huzzah!
