Highlights of Primrose School’s Item 19 Financial Performance Representations (2012 FDD) – Part 1
- Primrose School Franchising Company dba Primrose Schools (“PSFC”) offers franchises for the establishment, development, and operation of facilities under the Primrose Schools mark, which provide learning and educational oriented activities, including child care services, to children from six weeks to twelve years old (each, a “Facility”).
The total investment necessary to begin ownership of a Primrose franchise ranges from $2,840,500 to $3,935,500, assuming your real estate affiliate purchases the premises for your Facility (using the Real Estate Affiliate Development Program). This includes approximately $149,500 that must be paid to PSFC.
- Should you choose to lease the Facility from a developer or independent third party unaffiliated with you, the total investment necessary to begin ownership of a Primrose franchise ranges from $561,575 to $2,784,175 (using the Developer Lease Program, Build-to-Suit Program, or Permanent Lease Program). This includes approximately $119,500 to $234,500 that must be paid to PSFC.
- Should you have extensive construction experience and the company permits you to develop the Facility without any assistance from them, the total investment necessary to begin ownership of a Primrose franchise ranges from $2,810,500 to $3,905,500 (using the Independent Development Program). This includes approximately $119,500 that must be paid to PSFC.
- PSFC may offer you the option to sign an “Option Addendum” that will give you the option to develop additional Facilities within a specific geographic area during a specified development period. When you sign the Option Addendum, you must pay PSFC an option fee of $20,000 for each additional Facility that can be developed under the Option Addendum, and upon exercising each option, you must pay PSFC its then-current initial franchise fee minus the portion of the option fee paid for the option on the Facility.
