Get
on the fast track of success - own your own toy store!
Celebrating over 20 years in business, the first
Learning Express store was opened to help fund a
pre-school in Massachusetts and has grown to become the
nation’s largest franchisor of specialty toy stores.
A Learning Express franchise is an opportunity for you
to have a fun career that you’re sure to love and to
have the success you deserve.
Each
Learning Express store provides toys that encourage
curiosity, creativity and have exceptional play value.
Our stores offer an extraordinary shopping experience
with a knowledgeable sales staff offering expert advice
on choosing the perfect toy, for every child, for any
occasion. The product mix is carefully selected from
manufacturers around the world. A birthday gift
registry, complimentary gift-wrapping, civic fundraising
and consumer VIP programs make each Learning Express
store an integral part of the community. Learning
Express also developed ExpressCodesTM, an exclusive
program that offers a simple solution to finding
appropriate toys that best fits the developmental needs
of children.
