What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Creative World School Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 22 franchised outlets at the start of 2022. This information is part of a system-wide outlet summary that also includes data for 2023 and 2024. The document also tracks the number of company-owned outlets and total outlets during the same period.
For a prospective franchisee, this number provides a snapshot of the franchise system's size and growth trajectory at that time. It's important to consider this number in conjunction with other data in the FDD, such as outlet openings, closures, and transfers, to get a comprehensive understanding of the system's dynamics.
Specifically, the FDD indicates that the number of franchised Creative World School locations increased from 22 at the start of 2022 to 24 by the end of that year, representing a net increase of 2 units. This suggests a period of growth for the franchise system during that time. Reviewing similar data for subsequent years can reveal trends in the brand's expansion and stability.
Understanding the historical number of franchised outlets helps potential franchisees assess the maturity and saturation of the Creative World School system. A larger existing base may indicate brand recognition and established operational practices, but it could also mean more competition for new franchisees in certain markets.
