What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Learningrx's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to specific standards regarding their center's physical facilities. The franchisee must maintain a physical location for the Learningrx center at all times during the franchise agreement. The physical location must be at the premises designated in Attachment I of the Franchise Agreement.
Franchisees are responsible for locating a site for the business and negotiating a lease for the property. While Learningrx will provide limited advice and assistance in site selection, the franchisor retains the right to approve or reject any location. The location of the center should be close to the center of the territory, and Learningrx will analyze factors such as population density, traffic patterns, and proximity to other Learningrx centers. If the franchisee wishes to relocate the center, it is subject to Learningrx's approval, and a relocation fee may be required for subsequent relocation requests. Specifically, there is no relocation fee for the first request to relocate, but the franchisee will be required to pay $250.00 for the second relocation and $500.00 for the third relocation within the initial or successor term.
The Learningrx franchisee must also comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations, including those related to the care and safety of children, educational and professional licensing, occupational hazards, accommodations for the disabled (including the Americans with Disabilities Act), health, workers' compensation insurance, and unemployment insurance. The franchisee is responsible for modifying the center to comply with any such applicable laws or regulations at their own expense. Furthermore, franchisees must comply with the Learningrx system, the Operations Manual, and all mandatory specifications, standards, and operating procedures prescribed by Learningrx.
These requirements ensure that Learningrx centers maintain a consistent brand image and meet all necessary legal and safety standards. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors when selecting a location and planning their center's layout and operations.
