What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Casa De Corazon's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Casa Franchising, LLC, the franchisor, does not have any parent companies. However, the document identifies Casa de Corazon, Inc. ("Casa") as an affiliate because it owns the Casa de Corazon service mark and other intellectual property used by franchisees, including the supplemental curriculum and recipes. Casa de Corazon, Inc. is also considered a predecessor because the owner of Casa Franchising, LLC founded a home-based center in 2002 and later opened bilingual centers, some of which were rebranded as Casa de Corazon centers. Casa de Corazon, Inc. will also sell items to Casa De Corazon franchisees.
This means that while Casa Franchising, LLC is not under the control of a parent company, it has a close relationship with its affiliate, Casa de Corazon, Inc. This affiliate provides essential resources and intellectual property to the franchise system.
Prospective franchisees should understand the nature of this relationship and how it might affect their operations. For example, franchisees may want to inquire about the terms under which they will access and use the curriculum and recipes owned by Casa de Corazon, Inc., and whether those terms could change in the future. Understanding the interplay between Casa Franchising, LLC and Casa de Corazon, Inc. is an important part of evaluating the Casa De Corazon franchise opportunity.
