Snapology, the No. 1 children’s STEAM franchise and part of the franchise growth-focused platform company Unleashed Brands, has signed 19 new franchise agreements since September. The new franchise deals are mix of upgraded brick-and-mortar Discovery Centers, Snapology models inside Urban Air Adventure Parks and community-based Snapology franchise locations.
Of the deals, 13 are with existing Urban Air franchisees, integrating Snapology locations inside Urban Air Adventure Parks. Snapology is coming to Urban Air parks in Tampa, FL; Toledo, OH; Tallahassee, FL; Port Ft Lucie, FL; Cornelius, NC; Webster, TX; Melbourne, FL, Morrisville, NC; Jacksonville, FL; Plymouth, MN; Virginia Beach, VA; Newport News, VA; and Fullerton, CA.
Four deals are for the newly-designed Snapology Discovery Center 2.0, full-service hands-on retail locations that build on the brand’s strong name recognition. The fully-developed classrooms engage children through STEAM activities such as coding, robotics, animation, play and interactive learning. Discovery Centers also offer a membership program to establish brand loyalty and recurring revenue for franchisees. Snapology Discovery Centers will debut this year in Dover, CT; Rodgers, AR; Lehi, UT; and Amarillo, TX. Two new community-based franchise deals in Miami, FL and Cedar Rapids, IA round out the new wave of franchise growth.
The company is looking forward to significant growth in 2022 with 75 expected signings.
