While many businesses flounder, LearningRx continues to sell franchises
Although many small businesses are struggling to stay afloat, one brain training company continues to add centers across the United States.
Colorado Springs-based LearningRx is preparing to add its 70th center, confirming economists’ statements about how the franchising world typically remains strong – even among the bleakest financial times. In fact, veterans of the franchise industry see a spike in interest when there’s a slump in the economy.
“Franchising offers a great opportunity for those who want to start a business using a proven business model,” says Tanya Mitchell, LearningRx VP of Research & Development and a Certified Franchising Executive. “They have the support, knowledge, and reputation of a proven product and system backing them up, and that makes their business highly likely to succeed. That’s why many franchises are considered ‘recession-proof.’”
So what makes LearningRx such a strong franchise? “We offer life-changing solutions to serious learning problems,” says Dr. Ken Gibson, founder of LearningRx. “LearningRx is primarily focused on helping children and teens become faster and more effective learners using intense one-on-one cognitive skills training. Our programs treat the root cause of learning struggles – not the symptoms – and our franchisees love that they’re running a successful, profitable business while changing people’s lives.”
And the changes are profound. In fact, the results of an independent research study funded by the National Science Foundation were recently presented to Congress touting the benefits of LearningRx’s programs – and the profound effects they could have on the country’s educational system. In addition, LearningRx was named the No. 1 Child Enrichment Franchise for 2009 and 2010 by Entrepreneur magazine and has been listed on Entrepreneur’s “Top 500 Franchises” for several years. The company has also been included among the fastest growing franchise systems by Franchise Times and has been among the “Top 100 Franchisors” according to Franchise Market Magazine.
