ATLANTA, May 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Primrose Schools, a leading franchise company that provides high-quality early education and care, is seeking entrepreneurs at the International Franchise Expo (IFE) who are interested in a personally and financially rewarding investment. Ranked No. 1 in child care franchising by Entrepreneur, Primrose® currently has more than 375 locations in 29 states and is growing nationwide. Immediate opportunities for ownership exist in a variety of markets, including major cities like Boston and Chicago, and mid-sized markets such as Augusta, Ga.; Columbia, S.C. and Tallahassee, Fla.
At IFE, which will take place May 31 to June 2 at the Javits Center in New York, attendees can find Primrose Schools at booth 923.

Rigley currently owns three schools near Dallas and is opening two more.
"High-quality child care is in great demand and the industry is tech-proof — parents will continue to need a safe, nurturing environment where their children can learn and grow," said Steve Clemente, president of Primrose Schools. "Primrose is poised for significant growth to fill this need, with plans to open approximately 120 new schools by the end of 2020. We are looking for individuals of all backgrounds who are interested in a meaningful investment to help us meet demand in markets across the country and ultimately create a brighter future for children."
In total, Primrose has identified more than 200 markets where it can help fill a need for high-quality early education and care. The opportunity for entrepreneurs interested in owning a Primrose school is significant.
Primrose Franchise Owner Shashi Kerai, a published neurophysiologist, recently opened Primrose School of St. Charles West outside of Chicago with his wife and her brother and sister-in-law. The Kerais discovered Primrose during their personal search for child care, and soon introduced it to their family, who then relocated to St. Charles to help open the school.
"When Pinal and I discovered Primrose, we knew the ownership opportunity was exactly what we were looking for," said Kerai. "My family can apply our appreciation for science and math through the Balanced Learning® approach, and I'm grateful to spend my days in the same building as my daughter and son. It is very rewarding to bring the high-quality early learning experience Primrose provides to more families in our community, and to help fill a greater need that exists in the Chicago area."
Primrose Schools holds the leading franchisee satisfaction rating in the children's services sector according to Franchise Grade. The company also maintains industry-leading occupancy rates and has one of the lowest SBA loan default ratios in the franchise industry, which attests to the strength of its proven business model.
