Training for franchisees starts with a 10-

their location. They also have an online
LearningRx University and franchisee fo-

Franchisees are also provided with a per-
sonal business and marketing coach for the
first year of their operation. After the first

an annual convention and bi-monthly news-
letter. “Whenever a business driver is not
where we want it to be, we’ll start doing a lot
more education and training on that driver
to update the system,” Mitchell says.
LearningRx has garnered award recogni-
tion from Entrepreneur Magazine as the #1

in 2009, 2010 and again in 2012. They were
also ranked #272 in the Annual Franchise

List of over 3,000 franchises offered in
the U.S. by Entrepreneur. These are just some
of the many accolades they’ve consistently
achieved throughout their franchising life-
time.
