What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engineering For Kids' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Engineering For Kids retains the right to establish rules and policies regarding advertising. Specifically, if a franchisee's advertising within their territory reaches a significant number of people outside of their territory, the franchisee must notify Engineering For Kids in advance and obtain their consent.
This means that Engineering For Kids franchisees must be aware of the reach of their advertising and how it may affect areas outside of their assigned territory. It also means that Engineering For Kids can control advertising and promotional activities to ensure brand consistency and prevent conflicts between franchisees.
Engineering For Kids also reserves the right to establish rules, guidelines, and policies regarding franchisee participation in promotional activities and events that may draw potential customers from geographic areas serviced by multiple Engineering For Kids businesses. This includes events like camp fairs and school fairs, as well as the use of virtual programs. This allows Engineering For Kids to manage promotional activities across different territories and ensure fair competition among franchisees.
