In key metro areas like Chicago, Washington, D.C., Boston, New York and statewide in California, Maryland, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Washington, Primrose Schools will reduce royalty fees by 5 percent for new Franchise Owners who sign agreements in those areas. In their first 12 months in operation, a new owner would pay 2 percent royalty fees to Primrose School Franchising Company instead of the company’s standard 7 percent. To further encourage growth in underserved areas, Primrose Schools is offering to reimburse potential Franchise Owners up to $35,000 in relocation expenses for opening a new school more than 100 miles from their current home. “Primrose Schools Franchise Owners are passionate about making a difference in their communities and exemplifying our brand promise: to deliver the best and most trusted early childhood education and child care services for families across America, ”said Jo Kirchner, CEO and President of Primrose Schools.
