Bricks 4 Kidz®, which uses the famous LEGO® bricks for educational play, is continuing to expand across the country, as it appoints a new franchise partner in South County Dublin.
Over the next four years, Bricks 4 Kidz will be awarding a further 25 franchises across Ireland.
Education Entrepreneur and the Master Franchisee for Bricks 4 Kidz® in Ireland, Karl Fitzpatrick, believes that this US franchise is a great opportunity for people looking to start a new business in the children’s or education sectors.
Bricks 4 Kidz® is an educational play franchise that uses the world’s most powerful brand, LEGO®, to teach children aged 3-16 years the fundamentals of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).
Founded in Florida in 2008, Bricks 4 Kidz® has awarded over 750 franchises in 45 countries, which has seen it declared as one of the fastest growing franchises in the world. Bricks 4 Kidz has been shortlisted in the Best Emerging Franchise category of The 2017 Irish Franchise Awards.
The teaching of STEM through educational play is an emerging trend within the global education sector and Bricks 4 Kidz® is at the forefront of this. The business model is underpinned by the comprehensive curriculum which has been developed by the Bricks 4 Kidz® team of engineers, architects and educators using LEGO® bricks, Technic® and Mindstorms® Robotics.
The concept is surprisingly scalable with over 20 revenue streams including seasonal camps, birthday parties, pre-school classes, in-school workshops and after school classes. Bricks 4 Kidz® offers a low cost, proven business model, with year round income and recurring revenue streams. Franchise partners receive training and continuous support across all areas of their business.
Mr Fitzpatrick added: “We are delighted to have awarded the South County Dublin franchise to Elaine Bowden. She brings with her a wealth of experience from her time with Microsoft and will prove to be a formidable brand ambassador for Bricks 4 Kidz in South County Dublin. We would love to hear from more ambitious people like Elaine.”
