Does The Business Shut Down During School Holidays?

KICKS Franchises normally close over the Christmas Holiday period when most businesses shut and parents are at home or travelling with their children.

Teaching experience is a bonus but not a requirement for owning a KICKS After School Franchise.

It is a requirement for owners to be present and work in the business as an owner operator.
