Introduction - Franchise Opportunities

Welcome to the wonderful world of business ownership - a pursuit where you can finally enjoy the fruits of your own labor. Owning a Learning Express toy store is one of the most unique and personally rewarding opportunities available in today’s franchise market, and I’m delighted that you’ve taken an interest. Learning Express has more than 140 franchised stores in 26 states, which makes it the largest and most established specialty toy franchise business in America.

I invite you to join our family of successful storeowners who are working every day to make a difference in the lives of the children and families in their community. If you have an entrepreneurial spirit, a love of toys and kids, and an enthusiasm for learning, you have what it takes to be a great Learning Express owner.

The toy industry continues to be a vibrant market, generating billions of dollars in sales annually. Combine that with what you’ll receive from the company - dedicated support from our home office, helpful advice from fellow storeowners, and guidance from your regional advisor - you’ll see why so many people have joined the Learning Express family. Founded in 1987, today's Learning Express is an innovative company with a rich heritage that has set the stage for a promising future.

Please explore our website for further information, but feel free to call us if you have specific questions that are not answered here. I look forward to hearing from you.

"Being a Learning Express Franchisee is the best of both the independent and corporate worlds. We have the freedom to respond to our own markets with appropriate products, promotions, and marketing programs. With both the home office and our growing number of stores, I enjoy the camaraderie of being part of a family where help, humor, and great ideas are just a phone call away".
