Play Street Museum provides structured training to its franchisees through a multi-phase support system, both prior to and following the opening of a franchise location. Here’s a breakdown of the training programs offered by the franchisor:
Play Street Museum offers a defined Protected Territory to its franchisees under the Franchise Agreement. Within this designated territory, the franchisor commits not to open or license any other Play Street Museum locations during the term of the agreement.
The size of this territory is typically based on demographic factors and generally includes a population of at least 10,000 children aged 0-9, according to U.S. Census data.
However, this territory protection is not absolute. Franchisees do not receive exclusive territory rights and may still face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other affiliated distribution channels. Additionally, franchisees are restricted to operating only at their approved site and are prohibited from conducting business in mobile formats or at temporary venues without express permission.
