Our 'Academy' is our standard franchise model for territories where there are at least 4000 children between the ages of 5-14 . Our 'Studio' franchise model doesn't require an investment in a fixed location and is meant for smaller territories. An 'Academy' franchise also includes rights to deliver Steamoji at remote locations, such as at schools, community centers, libraries, etc.
