Eye Level Learning Centers Franchise

Eye Level Learning Centers, a Daekyo Co franchise, has been franchising since 1991 - 14 years after the concept was founded in 1977 , currently with 800 total locations in the education sector, headquartered in NJ. According to the 2024 FDD, the total initial investment ranges from $50K to $100K - a 100% spread between the low and high end that reflects how site size, market, and buildout scope change the capital requirement. This figure includes the franchise fee of $15K, equipment, leasehold improvements, and initial working capital through the ramp-up period.

Ongoing royalties run 6.0% of gross sales. Notably, Eye Level Learning Centers does not disclose financial performance (Item 19) in its FDD. That is common (Item 19 is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule) but it puts the burden on prospective buyers to survey existing franchisees (Item 20 contact list), model unit economics from public comparables, and demand validated profit-and-loss data before signing.

Network size has held steady year-over-year, which typically means new openings and closures are roughly offsetting, a stability pattern that can mask underlying churn. Before committing capital, triangulate this summary against the full FDD, a franchise attorney's review, and direct conversations with five or more current and former franchisees from Item 20.
