Seriously Addictive Learning Center
EducationSoftware purchasing at Seriously Addictive Learning Center is controlled by a small HQ team in Delaware, led by Executive Director Samuel Chia Kiah Hua. The most recent FDD does not disclose any mandated or recommended technology vendors, meaning the current tech stack is undefined for outsiders. With only 6 franchised units and 20% year-over-year unit growth, the addressable market is tiny but may expand if growth continues.

The vendor opportunity at Seriously Addictive Learning Center
Seriously Addictive Learning Center presents a micro-cap opportunity for software vendors. The system consists of just 6 franchised units, with no company-owned locations disclosed. Year-over-year unit growth sits at 20%, but that percentage applies to a very small base. The operator footprint is concentrated: only 1 mapped operator controls approximately 1 unit, and the top state by location count is Wisconsin with a single unit. There are no multi-unit operators on file. For a SaaS vendor, the total addressable market is 6 locations, making this a low-volume, high-touch sales target unless the franchisor accelerates development significantly.
Who controls software purchasing
Decision-making authority rests with a lean HQ team. The 2025 FDD identifies three executives: Samuel Chia Kiah Hua (Executive Director), Lau Chin Loong (Director), and Kyle Tan (Business Development Manager). No dedicated technology or procurement officer is listed. In a system this small, the Executive Director likely holds final sign-off on any software investment that affects the franchise network. Vendors should direct their pitch to Samuel Chia Kiah Hua, framing the value proposition around operational efficiency for a nascent but growing franchise brand.
Mandated and current tech stack
The FDD contains no captured data on mandated or recommended technology systems. This absence suggests that Seriously Addictive Learning Center does not currently require franchisees to use a specific POS, LMS, scheduling, or CRM platform. For a vendor, this is a double-edged sword: there is no incumbent to displace, but also no franchisor-driven mandate to force adoption. Any sale would need to convince both HQ and individual franchisees on the merits of the software.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD provides no extract on procurement requirements. It is unknown whether the franchisor designates suppliers, maintains an approved vendor list, or permits an entirely open procurement process. The initial franchise agreement runs for 10 years. Item 17 outlines a renewal term of an additional 10 years, conditional on good standing, substantial compliance, payment of all sums owed, signing a general release, and executing a successor agreement. The franchisor reserves the right to alter terms materially, though territory boundaries and successor fees remain protected relative to similarly situated franchisees. With only 6 units and no disclosed recent transfer or opening activity, there is no clear cyclical window for software evaluation. Vendors should treat this as an always-on prospecting target.
How to read the Seriously Addictive Learning Center FDD
The full 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is available below. It was filed with state franchise regulators and contains the legal and financial disclosures that govern the franchise relationship. For software vendors, the most relevant sections are Item 1 (the franchisor and its executives), Item 8 (restrictions on sources of products and services), Item 11 (franchisor's obligations, which may reference technology), and Item 17 (renewal and termination). Review these sections to validate the decision-maker names and any procurement constraints before outreach.

Questions vendors ask
Seriously Addictive Learning Center, answered from the filing
The FDD lists Samuel Chia Kiah Hua (Executive Director), Lau Chin Loong (Director), and Kyle Tan (Business Development Manager) as key officers. With no CIO or CTO named, purchasing decisions likely sit with this small executive group.
The 2025 FDD does not capture any mandated or recommended POS, operational, or IT systems. Franchisees appear to have autonomy in selecting their own technology vendors.
There are 6 total units, all franchised. The operator footprint is tiny, with 1 mapped operator controlling roughly 1 unit, concentrated in Wisconsin.
The FDD does not extract a procurement signal from Item 8. It is unclear whether the franchisor designates suppliers, maintains an approved list, or allows an open procurement model.
The initial franchise term is 10 years. Renewals are also for 10 years, contingent on good standing and a signed successor agreement. With only 6 units and no disclosed recent openings, contract windows are unpredictable.
