Lost it way over the years

Pros

Great educational methodology for students

Cons

The franchise lost it way many years ago and has never found it again. The result is that it is a brand name that has been steadily sinking against the every growing competition and most franchisees struggle as a result. The brand has also been sold on to numerous different corporate owners over the last 10-15 years and none of them have been able to turn things around. Instead they resort to squeezing the centre owners with higher franchise fees and operating & marketing costs and while delivering poorer new student opportunities.
