What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Brains' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the grand opening advertising payment for a Premium Learning Center is made to other suppliers. The estimated cost for this advertising is between $14,000 and $14,000. This payment is due before opening the Best Brains center and is arranged between the franchisee and the suppliers.
Grand opening advertising is a mandatory part of opening a Best Brains franchise. The FDD specifies that franchisees must engage in grand opening advertising to promote their new business, following the guidelines set by Best Brains. This advertising is intended to create awareness and attract initial customers to the learning center.
In addition to the grand opening advertising expenses, Best Brains franchisees must also pay a Grand Opening Representative Fee of $3,500 directly to Best Brains. This fee covers the costs associated with a corporate representative attending the grand opening, including travel, lodging, and other related expenses. Therefore, while the advertising expenses are paid to outside vendors, Best Brains also collects a fee for their on-site support during the opening.
