What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the transfer of a single-unit Learningrx Center within a Development Territory by an Area Developer is governed by the franchise agreement specific to that single-unit Center. The Area Developer must notify Learningrx of their intent to transfer, at which point Learningrx can approve or disapprove the transfer at their discretion.

As a condition of approval, Learningrx may require that all of the Area Developer's monetary and other obligations to Learningrx, its affiliates, and suppliers are fully paid. The Area Developer must not be in default of any provisions in their franchise agreements or any other agreements with Learningrx. Additionally, Learningrx can mandate that the Area Developer and their affiliates execute a general release of all claims against Learningrx. The transferee must also enter into a written agreement assuming all of the Area Developer's obligations under the franchise agreements.

Learningrx also stipulates that the transferee must meet Learningrx's standards for education, management, and business acumen. The transferee should possess a good moral character, business reputation, and credit rating, and demonstrate the aptitude and financial capacity to operate the Learningrx Centers. Learningrx has the option to require the transferee to execute the standard franchise agreement then offered to new Area Developers, which may supersede the existing agreements and include materially different terms, fees, and royalty rates.
