They count on us to be leaders, but we count on them to be our partners and help us figure out how to make the business work for all of us. And it's working. I think we've been successful because we have an excellent service for children. Franchising is simply our means of conducting business. The best way, Hoehn-Saric adds.
Education is a very local partnership between the centers and the schools and parents they serve.
Yet our franchisees enjoy the marketing expertise of a large centralized location. In our business, we see children who aren't doing well in a subject. Their self-confidence is shot. And virtually every child who goes through one of our centers comes out with renewed confidence and skills that allow him to succeed. I wake up in the morning knowing that what I do is really helping people.
