The Resource Room
EducationSoftware purchasing at The Resource Room is controlled at the HQ level, with Samara Cuccurullo listed as the registered agent in the 2025 FDD. The brand mandates Square Space for its online presence and payment system across both company-owned units. With only 2 locations, the addressable market is small, but the mandated tech stack signals a centralized procurement model for any vendor looking to pitch.

Live signals
The vendor opportunity at The Resource Room
The Resource Room operates 2 company-owned locations, all in North Carolina. No franchised units are reported in the 2025 FDD, and year-over-year unit growth is not disclosed. Average unit volume sits at $244,502, with a 10% royalty rate and a 5-year initial term. For software vendors, this is a micro-footprint target—but one with a clear, mandated tech stack and centralized decision-making.
Who controls software purchasing
The FDD lists Samara Cuccurullo as the registered agent. With only 2 units and no franchisee base, purchasing authority almost certainly rests with this individual or a small HQ team. There is no parent company on file, and the brand appears independently owned. Vendors should prepare to engage a single decision-maker rather than navigate a multi-layered procurement department.
Mandated and current tech stack
The Resource Room mandates Square Space for its website and Square Space for its online payment system. No other operational or point-of-sale technology is disclosed as required in the 2025 FDD. This means the brand has already standardized its digital storefront and payment processing, but there may be gaps in areas like scheduling, CRM, or back-office management that a vendor could fill—if they can demonstrate integration with the existing Square Space environment.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 of the FDD contains no procurement extract, so the brand’s supplier model—whether designated, approved, or open—is not publicly disclosed. On renewals, Item 17 spells out a structured process: franchisees (if any existed) must be in good standing, provide notice at least nine months before expiration, agree to the then-current Franchise Agreement, make required upgrades, secure a long lease, sign a release, attend training, and pay a $6,000 renewal fee. Each 5-year renewal may come with materially different terms, including changes to royalty rates and protected territory. For vendors, the 9-month notice window is the key trigger to watch for potential tech stack evaluations.
How to read the The Resource Room FDD
The 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document is embedded below. It contains the full legal and operational disclosures filed with state franchise regulators. For software vendors, the most actionable sections are Item 1 (the registered agent and ownership structure), Item 11 (mandated tech systems), and Item 17 (renewal and contract cycle timing). Use these to time your outreach and tailor your pitch to the existing Square Space mandate. When you need a ranked list of franchise targets matched to your software category, FranCloud can build that list.
