What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engineering For Kids's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Engineering For Kids has the right to modify the System. The System includes the standards, specifications, and operating procedures that Engineering For Kids has developed for its businesses.
Engineering For Kids can make changes or modifications to the System, including the manual, programs, proprietary materials, curriculum, approved suppliers, required equipment, signage, and other aspects of the franchised business. They can also adopt new administrative forms and methods for reporting and payment. The franchisee must accept and implement these changes as if they were part of the original agreement and make any necessary expenditures to comply.
Engineering For Kids also has the right to vary standards and specifications to accommodate individual franchisees. However, if any discontinued part of the System poses a hazard or is detrimental, the franchisee must stop selling that item or offering that service immediately. This ensures that Engineering For Kids can adapt its System over time while maintaining brand standards and safety.
