The things people ask us on the first call.
The franchise fee is $35,000, and total initial investment runs $121,200 to $238,500, averaging $179,850. Where you land in that range depends mostly on construction and the condition of the space you lease. The costs page lists all twelve line items.
An 8% royalty and a 2% brand marketing contribution, both calculated on gross sales rather than on any other measure, and both payable from the month you open. The costs page sets them out alongside the initial investment, so the whole picture is in one place.
Yes. Financing is commonly arranged through small business loans, and we have partner banks who already know the model. We introduce you at the planning stage. The terms are agreed directly between you and the lender, and we are not party to them.
No. The curriculum is written and maintained centrally, and your instructors are trained on it. Owners come from business, teaching and other careers rather than from software. What matters more is that you enjoy hiring and coaching a small team, and that you like being known locally.
Four to eight months from signing the agreement to opening day, covering site selection, build-out, training and launch marketing. The steps before signing, which are the interest form, the discovery meeting, approval and the follow-up meeting, sit outside that window and move at whatever pace suits you.
A centre runs in 1,000 to 1,600 sq ft, holding classrooms, a reception area and room for camps and parties. We help you assess sites and lay out the room before you commit to a lease, because the space drives a large part of the investment range.
A two to four week program, part in person and part online, covering the curriculum, the booking and enrolment systems, hiring instructors and local marketing. Your first instructors are trained on the curriculum as well, so you are not the only person who knows how a class runs.
Help with site selection, support through the grand opening, then guidance on daily operations and marketing, ongoing mentorship and workshops, and curriculum releases as they are published.
Available markets change as territories are awarded, so this answer does not try to hold the list. Tell us the province and city you have in mind and we will confirm where it stands, and the territories page carries the current picture.
Yes. Every franchisee receives an exclusive territory, mapped to a neighbourhood catchment rather than a whole city, so we do not place a second centre inside it. The boundaries are agreed in writing before you sign and are set out in the disclosure document.
One to four part-time instructors depending on registrations, plus you. Hiring and keeping good instructors is the part of the job that repays attention most, and the training program covers how we do it.
Call and ask. There is no script on our end, and no form to fill in first.
Send us your market and your question, and we will reply with a straight answer.
