Can Creative World School require a franchisee to use a designated architect for the development of a Creative World School?

According to the 2025 Creative World School Franchise Disclosure Document, Creative World School may require franchisees to use a designated or approved architect, engineer, and contractor for the development of their school. This requirement is outlined in the Franchise Agreement, specifically in Section 5.1.

This means that as a prospective franchisee, you might not have the freedom to choose your own architect, engineer, or contractor for the construction of your Creative World School location. Instead, you may be obligated to select from a list of professionals pre-approved by Creative World School, or even be required to use a specific designated professional.

This stipulation ensures that the school's design and construction adhere to Creative World School's standards and specifications. While it may limit your options, it also provides a level of assurance that the development process will align with the brand's requirements. It is important for potential franchisees to discuss this requirement with Creative World School to understand the reasons behind it and the potential impact on development costs and timelines.
