A partnership approach with prospective franchisees to identify the right location is always the preferred option for our Head Office team!

Yes, all franchisees are provided with a protected territory that is defined by street boundaries to include a sufficient population within those boundaries. A protected territory means the franchisor cannot open up additional locations within your territory unless you grant our team permission.

Absolutely! As part of our Head Office due-diligence process, we require prospective franchisees to speak with several existing franchisees — from new franchisees to veteran franchisees. They will be able to share some of their experience and give you advice and insight on what your day-to-day will be like as a member of the Zipbrain family.

We provide you with a complete, turnkey solution for staffing in your location. Our teaching team drives the growth of every new location, so we want to play a very supportive and hands-on role in helping new franchisees find, hire, and train an exceptional team of teachers.

We strive to ensure that every location adheres to strict guidelines in terms of cleanliness, marketing, community outreach, service, and adherence to program requirements and implementation. The emphasis on the importance of these guidelines allows us to maintain our high brand standards across all our locations
