Franchisees (and the store manager if a different person) will train at an existing Arctic Circle location for five weeks. During this training, franchisees will learn about restaurant procedures, bookkeeping practices, advertising successes, corporate policies, as well as how to manage a staff. Franchisees will also receive assistance in securing a location for the restaurant; franchisees have the option of leasing land or a building or buying a site outright.
