According to Casa De Corazon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Casa De Corazon retains the right to acquire businesses similar to the franchised business. This means that Casa De Corazon could potentially purchase existing early childhood learning centers, even those that might compete with a franchisee's location.

While Casa De Corazon agrees not to grant another franchise or operate a corporate location under the Casa De Corazon name within a franchisee's designated territory, this restriction does not prevent them from acquiring similar businesses. These acquired businesses could operate under a different name or brand, but still offer similar services, potentially drawing customers away from the franchisee's center.

This clause in the franchise agreement highlights the importance of carefully evaluating the market and competitive landscape before investing in a Casa De Corazon franchise. A prospective franchisee should consider the possibility of Casa De Corazon acquiring a competing business in the area and how that might impact their center's performance. It would be prudent to discuss this potential scenario with Casa De Corazon during the due diligence process to understand their acquisition strategy and how they would mitigate any potential conflicts of interest.
