What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Engineering For Kids' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a proposed site is not considered approved until the franchisee receives written approval from Engineering For Kids. The franchisee must first notify Engineering For Kids of the proposed site and submit a site review report. This report should include photographs, demographic information, and any other information that Engineering For Kids may require.
Engineering For Kids then has 30 days after receiving all required information to either approve or disapprove the site. Engineering For Kids has the option, but not the obligation, to conduct an on-site evaluation of the proposed site. If Engineering For Kids does conduct an on-site evaluation, the franchisee is responsible for reimbursing Engineering For Kids for reasonable costs, including travel, lodging, wages, and meals, with a minimum cost of $500.
It is important to note that even if Engineering For Kids recommends, approves, or provides information regarding a site, this does not constitute a representation or warranty of the site's suitability for an Engineering For Kids Business. The franchisee is ultimately responsible for their own independent investigation of the site's suitability and all related due diligence costs.
