COMPUTERTOTS/COMPUTER EXPLORERS Moves up on Entrepreneur's Top Franchise 500

For the fourth year, COMPUTERTOTS/COMPUTER EXPLORERS (CTCE) captured a spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s list of Top 500 Franchises, ranking number 414, moving up from 478 in 2004. The Franchise was also named one of the Top Low-Cost Franchises of 2005.

COMPUTERTOTS/COMPUTER EXPLORERS is the fastest growing home-based provider of computer technology education for children in the U. S., offering computer enrichment to students, age three to twelve, at Child Care centers, schools and other community sites worldwide.

“To be recognized again this year by Entrepreneur is evidence of the strength of the brand and its tremendous growth over the past few years,” says Deb Evans, CTCE president. “Last year more than 20 new owners joined the CTCE family.”

Entrepreneur Magazine bases its rankings on factors that include financial strength and stability, growth rate, size of the system, years in business, length of time in franchising, start-up costs, litigation and percentage of terminations.

“Becoming a CTCE owner is an attractive alternative to ‘corporate America,’” says

Evans. “As more professionals become disillusioned with the 9-to-5 work routine and wish to dictate their own schedules, they find CTCE to be a perfect way to fulfill their own dreams while making a positive difference in the lives of future generations.”
