You must use whatever Computer System we specify during the term of the Franchise Agreement. Currently, we require Schools to use Playground software, SEO Support, Eulerity, and Delightree which is included in the Opening Package; however there is a monthly fee (currently $350) that you must pay to us or our designee for the use of such software (the "System Standards Fee"). Additionally, QuickBooks Financial Software should be used for tracking your School’s accounting and bookkeeping. We expect that the computer system will need to be maintained and updated. We anticipate that software upgrades will cost less than $800 per year. However, due to the changing nature of the computer and information technology industry, we estimate that the cost of hardware upgrades and both hardware and software upgrade costs may vary significantly from any current expectations. We have not yet arranged for a mandatory software or hardware maintenance contract for the Computer System to be purchased by you, but may do so in the future. It is anticipated that hardware may need to be updated and/or replaced on average every 2 to 3 years.
The vendor opportunity at Creative World
Creative World operates 28 locations: 25 franchised and 3 company-owned. Franchised outlets grew 4.167% year over year. The FDD makes a financial performance representation in Item 19, but no average unit volume figure is stated here. Initial franchise terms run 20 years, with renewal available for three successor 10-year terms.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 of the FDD names Marianne Whitehouse (CEO, President, Director and Certified Training Instructor), Gregory L. Michael (Vice President of Franchise Development), Karen Riebesell (Chief Financial Officer), Kathy Thomure (Vice President of Education), and Sarah Buzzard (Executive Director of Marketing and Brand). The Franchise Agreement requires franchisees to use whatever computer system the franchisor specifies during the term, so software purchasing authority sits at HQ.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
Item 11 of the FDD mandates Delightree and Eulerity. The filing also names Procare by Procare Solutions and QuickBooks by Intuit as in use, and Facebook by Meta and FranConnect as named in the filing. The FDD's own words state: "Currently, we require Schools to use Playground software, SEO Support, Eulerity, and Delightree which is included in the Opening Package." Franchisees must use the specified computer system for online reporting of sales and other information.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD describes an approved-supplier model. Required purchases represent approximately 98% of total purchases to establish a school and less than 5% to operate it. Franchisees must buy the Opening Package, teaching supplies, equipment, curriculum, management software, and SEO from the franchisor or affiliate Discount Preschool. Discount Preschool is the only approved supplier for interior equipment, moveable fixtures, furniture, and supplies. Franchisees may propose suppliers for approval. Renewal requires signing the then-current Franchise Agreement, which may have materially different terms, and paying a renewal fee.
