What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engineering For Kids' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no Engineering For Kids outlets in Arizona that ceased operations for reasons other than termination, non-renewal, or reacquisition by the franchisor during 2023. The provided table in Item 20 specifically lists the number of outlets that ceased operations for 'other reasons' as zero for Arizona in 2023.
Specifically, the table shows that Engineering For Kids had one outlet in Arizona at the start of 2023. During that year, no outlets were opened, terminated, not renewed, or reacquired by the franchisor. The 'Ceased Operations Other Reasons' column also shows a zero, meaning no outlets closed for other reasons. Consequently, Engineering For Kids ended 2023 with one outlet in Arizona.
This information is valuable for potential franchisees as it provides insight into the stability and performance of existing Engineering For Kids franchises. A history of outlets closing for 'other reasons' might indicate underlying issues with the business model or market conditions. The absence of such closures in Arizona for 2023 could be seen as a positive sign for prospective franchisees in that state.
