location that will serve as the operator's permanent base of operations, will be devoted entirely to the operation of an Engineering For Kids Business, and will bear exterior "Engineering For Kids" signage (a "EFK Center Location"). An operator will also provide Programs to customers at one or more sites that the operator locates and secures (each a "Third Party Site").

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Engineering For Kids FDD, franchisees may operate at "Third Party Sites" in addition to a central "EFK Center Location". These Third Party Sites are locations the franchisee secures to provide programs to customers. While these sites must meet Engineering For Kids' standards, franchisees are not required to maintain a permanent presence at these locations.
The FDD provides examples of facilities that can be considered Third Party Sites. These include community centers, parks and recreation centers where the franchisee rents space for scheduled days or time slots.
Additionally, Engineering For Kids franchisees can operate at facilities such as afterschool care centers and schools. In these locations, the franchisee conducts programs on a scheduled basis as an independent service provider. These locations allow franchisees to reach a broader customer base without the overhead costs associated with maintaining permanent facilities.
