What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Creative World School's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, site approval does not guarantee profitability or success. While Creative World School provides site selection criteria and must approve the location, this approval only indicates that the site meets the brand's demographic and other criteria at the time of approval.
The FDD makes it clear that the effectiveness of site selection criteria used for other locations may not accurately predict the potential of all sites. Demographic and other factors can change after site approval, altering the site's potential. The uncertainty and instability of these factors are beyond Creative World School's control, and the company is not responsible if an approved site fails to meet expectations regarding revenue or operational criteria.
Creative World School also states that their approval of a lease for a site does not constitute a guarantee or warranty of successful operation or profitability. The brand advises franchisees to have an attorney review and evaluate the lease. This is a common practice in franchising, as site selection is a critical factor in the success of a franchise, but it is also subject to many external and unpredictable influences. Prospective franchisees should conduct their own due diligence and market research to assess the potential of any proposed location.
