What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Creative World School FDD, within 120 days of signing the Franchise Agreement, the franchisee must locate a site for their school that meets Creative World School's criteria and is approved by them. To gain approval, the franchisee must submit a complete site report and any other materials requested by Creative World School. The site must meet specific criteria related to demographic characteristics, traffic patterns, parking, neighborhood character and safety, competition, proximity to other businesses and schools, the nature of nearby businesses, commercial and residential characteristics, the size and appearance of the proposed site, and its suitability for children and school construction. The proposed site should be a minimum of 1.5 useable acres, or another space deemed appropriate by Creative World School for the location.
Creative World School will then approve or disapprove the proposed site within 60 days of receiving the complete site report and other requested materials. If the site is approved, Creative World School will include the specific usable acre requirements for that particular site in their approval notice. However, Creative World School retains the right to change, modify, or amend these requirements before the franchisee acquires or leases the site if circumstances or construction needs warrant such changes. The franchisee must comply with any changes Creative World School designates to the usable acreage.
The FDD also states that prior to submitting Construction Plans, Creative World School will furnish prototype design plans, specifications, decor and layout for a School, including requirements for design, color scheme, image, interior and exterior layout, playground and parking layout, and Operating Assets which include fixtures, equipment, signs, and furnishings. The franchisee is obligated to have prepared, at their expense, all required Construction Plans and specifications to suit the shape and dimensions of the Site and to ensure that such plans and specifications comply with applicable ordinances, building codes and permit requirements and with lease requirements and restrictions. The franchisee must submit Construction Plans and specifications to Creative World School for approval before construction of the School is commenced, and within 120 days of the Construction Approval Date.
