Learningrx Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
there are no other approved suppliers in which any of our officers own an interest.
You must purchase certain marketing materials, equipment, services, supplies, and materials used to operate your franchise from our approved or designated suppliers as indicated in the Operations Manual. For example, for any agreements signed on or after January 1, 2019, Centers are required to use our designative merchant services provider, as specified in the Operations Manual, for receiving payments from clients at your Center. If you would like to purchase items from another supplier, you may request our "Supplier Approval Criteria and Request Form." At no cost to you, upon receipt of the Supplier Approval Criteria and Request Form, we will study the proposed product or service, and within 30 days approve or disapprove the proposed supplier. We base our approval on a number of factors including vendor reputation, quality of products, delivery performance, and credit rating. However, we reserve the right to determine, in our sole discretion, whether the materials meet our standards and specifications. If you do not receive an approval within 30 days, your request will be deemed disapproved. We expect to derive some income from Franchisees' required purchases from designated and approved suppliers in the next and following fiscal years through a program of rebates from some of our designated or approved suppliers. These rebates serve to partially reimburse us for our costs in the initial sourcing, approval and ongoing monitoring of compliance with our quality standards by our suppliers, but we may receive rebates in excess of our cost to source, approve and monitor suppliers.
We do not currently require you to purchase any particular computer equipment to establish or operate the Business, but we do specify the standards for computer and communication equipment and Internet access. You will be required to use our proprietary software to use in the operation of your Center. You will pay an annual Technology Fee between $1,800 and $2,400 depending on the size of your Territory. We reserve the right to require you to acquire and use specific technology, computer hardware or software, and other communications equipment, and to change or add other technology, computer-related and communications standards in the future.
We do not have any purchasing or distribution cooperatives as of the date of this Disclosure Document.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a list of approved or designated suppliers can be found in the Operations Manual. Franchisees are required to purchase certain marketing materials, equipment, services, supplies, and materials from Learningrx's approved suppliers, as detailed in the Operations Manual. For agreements signed on or after January 1, 2019, Learningrx Centers must use the designated merchant services provider specified in the Operations Manual for receiving payments.
If a franchisee wishes to use a different supplier, they can request a "Supplier Approval Criteria and Request Form." Learningrx will then evaluate the proposed supplier based on factors such as vendor reputation, product quality, delivery performance, and credit rating. Learningrx has 30 days to approve or disapprove the proposed supplier. If no approval is received within 30 days, the request is considered disapproved.
Learningrx may receive income through rebates from designated or approved suppliers, which serves to partially reimburse Learningrx for the costs associated with sourcing, approving, and monitoring supplier compliance with quality standards. Currently, Learningrx is the only approved or designated supplier of Products or access through the digital Training Management System. Franchisees must purchase student and trainer kits and workbooks from Learningrx, and they are not permitted to purchase these Products from any other supplier.
