## Story

Primrose Schools, has been recognized by franchise research and advisory firm FRANData as one of two winners in the nonfood category for the 2023 FUND™ Top$core Award. The award is given to brands that consistently demonstrate a commitment to supporting franchise owners' access to financing by simplifying the process, which means lower cost of capital and better financing terms for franchise owners.

"The role franchise owners play in our organization is invaluable," said Steve Clemente, president of Primrose Schools. "At Primrose, our team gives them the best support possible, so franchise owners can focus on what matters most – bringing high-quality early education and childcare opportunities to families throughout the country.

Primrose accepted the award on April 27 during a ceremony at the 22nd annual Multi-Unit Franchising Conference, held at the Caesars Forum conference facility in Las Vegas. This award is in recognition of the company receiving a 930 FUND® Score by FRANData.

"The Child Education and Development Industry has been among the strongest US economic sectors over the past decade," says Darrell Johnson Chairman, FRANdata. "Primrose School Franchising Company has taken advantage of that momentum while maintaining strong franchisee support, including financing assistance. This is reflected in their FUND score."
