Franchising presents a dynamic business opportunity, blending a proven marketing and distribution model with an entrepreneurial venture. Owning a franchise allows you to benefit from an established brand, a robust business framework, and ongoing support and training from the franchisor. This business model is especially advantageous for those venturing into business ownership for the first time.

Any aspiring business owner wants to know whether the industry they’re considering entering is on a growth track. The good news for anyone exploring an education franchise is that education is a rapidly growing business sector. In 2023, the worldwide market for K-12 education was estimated at $2.5 trillion. From 2024 to 2030, this market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%.

As Halloween marks the anniversary of Stephanie and Laura’s venture into franchise ownership, they have established a cherished tradition that has garnered attention throughout Renton: a family-friendly Halloween celebration. 

This annual event is more than just a typical Halloween party: Each year, Stephanie and Laura brainstorm creative ideas and get to work on the design to transform their center into an immersive theme. An example of one of their themes was a Spooky School. The kids loved walking through the imaginative display and also enjoyed a photo booth, candy, and fun backdrops. This annual event is open beyond the students they serve at the center to all families in the community looking for a spooktacular, safe, and fun Halloween party.
