Overview
Own the world’s #1 STEM education franchise in an affluent western Chicago suburb (Will County / Naperville area). This established Code Ninjas center teaches kids ages 5–14 to code through a gamified, belt-based curriculum. Fully built-out on a high-traffic retail corridor, with a growing school-partnership channel. Exact location disclosed to qualified buyers under NDA.
Why Code Ninjas?
*#1 STEM Franchise – Globally recognized brand for children's coding and technology education.
*Proprietary, Gamified Curriculum – Belt-based program in real languages (JavaScript, Lua, Python) with strong national franchise support and marketing systems.
*Growing Industry – STEM jobs are projected to grow ~2x faster than non-STEM by 2031 (BLS) and coding demand ~22% this decade — parents increasingly seek STEM enrichment.
Business Highlights
*Turnkey & Built-Out – Operating today — it would cost ~$177K–$385K and 18–24 months to build a comparable center from scratch.
*Semi-Absentee – Owner works ~15–20 hrs/week; trained “Sensei” instructors run daily operations.
*Established School Partnerships – Afterschool programs with local elementary schools, a B2B curriculum partnership, and a seasonal community catalog — recurring, scalable revenue.
*Bookable Pipeline – ~$27,000 of incoming school and camp programs not yet in trailing results.
*Prime Demographics – An affluent western Chicago suburb — high incomes, top-rated schools, and family-oriented neighborhoods.
*Recurring Revenue – Monthly memberships plus camps, events, and parties.
What’s Included
*Fully furnished center (computers, software, branded materials; FF&E ~$57,000), leasehold build-out, and Code Ninjas franchise rights.
*Trained staff and an established student database with active monthly memberships.
*School-partnership relationships and a booked program pipeline.
Growth Opportunities
*Scale school pilots into district-wide, recurring programs.
*Add specialized camps (Robotics, AI, Minecraft, Game Design) and re-engage ~36 on-hold students.
*Increase local marketing — the current owner spends little on advertising.
