About this Business
Make a HUGE impact in kids’ lives by taking ownership of Snapology and Class 101. At Snapology, we are a STEAM enrichment organization for kids ages 2-14. Hire and train staff that will help build kids’ love for and confidence through engineering and robotics activities. At Class 101, help guide kids and families through the college admission process. These organizations are fun and truly rewarding. Staff is in place to continue delivering exceptional customer service!
This is an stablished business with large growth YOY since opening in 2021 and large growth anticipated in 2024. Only half of the territory is currently utilized, so plenty of opportunity for growth. As much fun as I have, I am looking to sell my two children’s enrichment franchises due to ongoing medical concerns. Here are some of the highlights:
- 2 franchises under 1 roof (lower rent!)
- 2023 revenue ~200K, about 25% EBITDA right now
- Strong, well-trained staff in place
- Programs in place for 2024 (scheduling done through August)
- Client base of ~700 families
- Rent: <$2300 (including CAM, heat/hot water) – both businesses are in the same unit
I am asking 75K, but this price is negotiable with a quick sale in 2024. This price is less than the current franchise fees.
Our price includes:
- All inventory (approximately 15K)
- Franchise transfer fees (approximately 20K)
- All construction that’s been done in our hub in Northern MA
This is not an absentee owner business (at the moment). However, there is an opportunity to promote 1-2 staff into administrative roles to handle the logistical pieces of the business. Most ownership work can be handled remotely (from my experience).
Growth opportunities
2023 has seen significant growth. Following the same trajectory and maximizing marketing opportunities (which current owner did not do) will see huge growth in 2024, with revenue anticipated in the 250-300K range, and even higher with a full-time commitment.
Owner's Day-to-Day Involvement
Right now, owner is only able to commit 10-15 hours per week. For full growth, a 30-40 hour per week commitment is best for the business. Owner should be comfortable taking on operations and logistics, including scheduling, inventory management, business development, and customer relationships. With Class 101, it is recommended that you do sales consultations and college planning initially and then bring on a PT College Advisor while the owner takes on the Director roles and responsibilities.
Franchise Accolades & Awards
We have been recognized for our year over year revenue growth.
Asset Description
All assets will be included - approximately 25-30K; All kits for Snapology (robotics, engineering, and loose bricks kits); 30 working tablets; 10 working computers; Tablet charging dock; Furniture for both classrooms (Class 101 and Snapology); Snapology assorted equipment (i.e. Magnet wall, Building wall); Office furniture
Reason for Selling
Medical reasons and personal obligations require significant time taken away from the business. The business has grown too much to let it close and it is not quite at a point where it can be a passive investment.
Why I Love My Franchise
The parent base for Snapology and Class 101 is amazing. They are very supportive of us and help to grow the business in the community. Snapology and Class 101 both have a great set of owners who are truly collaborative, appreciate one another, and support each other with growth and setbacks. They are there to bounce ideas off of, share ideas, and be a great resource. HQ is undergoing changes to the technology, which will increase exposure, make registration easier, and help us spend less time on marketing and operations.
About Snapology
Snapology is a children’s STEAM education franchise built around play-based learning. Programs use LEGO® bricks and other snap-together building materials to teach science, technology, engineering, art, math, and literacy to children roughly aged 1 to 14. The brand was founded in 2010 by sisters Lisa and Laura Coe, both with backgrounds in mathematics and science, and began franchising in 2015.
The model is flexible and often mobile, keeping overhead lower than fixed-site concepts. Owners deliver classes, camps, parties, and after-school programs across three formats: dedicated Discovery Centers, scheduled classroom locations, and community-based programs hosted in schools, libraries, and other local venues. With more than 80 program topics, including robotics, animation, and competition teams, and a curriculum adapted for gifted, mainstream, and special-needs learners, owners can tailor offerings to local demand and run several revenue streams at once.
Snapology has grown to more than 150 locations across the US and internationally. It operates as part of Unleashed Brands, the franchising group behind Urban Air Adventure Park and The Little Gym, giving owners access to a larger multi-brand support and franchising platform.
Franchisee Support
Incoming owners complete a four-day initial training programme covering marketing, operations, curriculum management, and Snapology's proprietary business systems. Ongoing support continues through a central business management platform, regular curriculum updates, marketing resources, and a brand website for each territory, backed by the wider Unleashed Brands infrastructure and its annual UBCON franchisee conference. Resale buyers should confirm with Snapology what transfer training is provided to new ownership and which business-system and curriculum access carries over with the sale.
Brand Accolades & Awards
Snapology is among the most decorated names in children's enrichment franchising. It has ranked repeatedly in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 and been named the #1 children's enrichment franchise in the STEM category several times, including in 2025, as well as a Fastest-Growing Franchise. The brand has also earned Franchise Business Review Top Franchise and Top 50 honours and a FranServe FRAN-TASTIC 500 listing, while parent group Unleashed Brands regularly places multiple brands among Entrepreneur's top franchises. For resale buyers, brand recognition should be weighed alongside the local unit's reviews and community reputation.
Industry / Market
Snapology operates in the US children's enrichment and supplemental-education market, where families spend heavily on after-school and summer programs that build academic and social skills. STEM and STEAM learning is a particular growth area, supported by national emphasis on science and technology careers and by school and grant funding. Demand is driven by dual-income households seeking structured activities and by parents prioritising educational play. For resale buyers, local school relationships, camp seasonality, and the density of young families in a territory shape how well a unit performs.
Ideal Owner
Snapology suits hands-on local operators who enjoy working with children and selling into their community, not passive investors. Strong candidates are organised, comfortable building relationships with schools, libraries, and parents, and able to recruit and manage part-time instructors. A background in education or child development helps but is not required, since the curriculum and systems are supplied. Marketing drive and local networking matter most, as bookings depend on visibility with schools, camps, and families across the territory.
