Take a look at some of the most interesting and rewarding children's services franchises listed below, and request more information for the ones that best suit your skills, interests and investment level.

Beat The Bookstore

Beat The Bookstore founders Mike Winward and David Monk recognized that university-owned bookstores and their cohorts were gouging students unmercifully. They had a monopoly on college textbook sales, and each year the gouging was getting worse. The victims were America’s college students.

Mike and David realized that together they had the skills and experience to take on the $7.7 billion college textbook industry, where students were spending an average of $807 a year on books and supplies.

The Beat The Bookstore concept is very simple. It is centered on catering to students, not publishers, wholesale companies, authors, or administrators. We buy for more and sell for less, provide uncommon customer service, treat the students with respect, and have fun in the process.

Our stores don’t even look like a typical college bookstore. They have no high-priced junk, no fudge, no candy, no sweatshirts, no glassware, no decorative spoons, no trinkets, no pennants, no bumper stickers… and no apathetic managers or employees. They just have cheap textbooks and genuine respect for students.

Start your own business in the $7.7 billion college textbook industry
and give students what they are demanding!

Franchise opportunities are now available in many U.S. states and expanding rapidly. Obviously, there can be only one Beat The Bookstore at any college or university. So, if you are interested in liberating the campus near you, please complete and submit the form below right now so we can begin the franchise qualification process!

BounceU

Each BounceU facility is an indoor, climate-controlled stadium filled with giant inflatable play structures, accompanied by additional play equipment and video arcade games. In addition to hosting birthday parties and other special occasions, BounceU stadiums also offer "open bounce" sessions to provide franchise owners with an additional revenue stream.

"BounceU has provided me and my wife with an unbelievable opportunity to build a substantial business and take complete control of our future. The initial training and ongoing support gave us exactly what we needed to be successful. We’ve significantly improved our overall level of happiness, and we truly have a business in BounceU that we can absolutely be proud to tell people about." – Paul Burkitt, Franchisee, Oaks, PA

The traditional children's hairstyles of Pigtails & Crewcuts are making a fresh comeback - in the form of a 'cutting edge' hair boutique that makes getting a haircut a fun and entertaining experience
for children.

Pigtails & Crewcuts doesn't fit any of the stereotypes commonly associated with the children's services industry. We accommodate children of all ages in a one-of-a-kind environment that is appealing to kids and parents alike - it's as fun as a playroom but as stylish and comfortable as a living room. And when it's time for the haircut, our custom-kiddie chairs do all the entertaining.

Previous salon experience is not required to operate a Pigtails & Crewcuts franchise. In fact, people with virtually any background can be successful as Pigtails & Crewcuts franchise owners, as long as they are motivated, energetic, share a love for children and make use of the variety of support tools provided by Pigtails & Crewcuts corporate office.

The Learning Experience

The Learning Experience is currently developing more than 50 locations within the Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Michigan, Massachusetts, Florida, and Pennsylvania markets and is one of the fastest growing child care operations in this area.

The demand for child care is greater than ever before and the demand for excellence is just as great. More than seventy percent of mothers with children under the age of six have jobs or careers outside the home. In 1960 only 19 percent of mothers worked outside the home. The most current United States census bureau report estimates that 8.4 million children have no formal childcare available to them. This industry is destined to grow even more rapidly as parents and educators demand quality childcare and dynamic preschool education.

Through the development of detailed franchisee training, meticulous operational manuals and an unparalleled student curriculum, The Learning Experience franchise remains on the cutting edge within the child care industry.

If you love children and are a good business manager, then consider all the rewards a child care franchise can bring you. It is a business that operates five days a week, with no evening or week-end hours and experience in the education field is not necessary. In addition, a quality child care center fulfills the needs of the community.
