We’re excited to show them how a Lightbridge Academy child care franchise is truly differentiated as The Solution for Working Parents® and well-positioned to make a positive impact in their community. Raleigh is such a diverse city with a growing but still tight-knit community that cares about its children and families. Lightbridge Academy provides unparalleled support for parents as well as a high quality early educational program for their children. Our Franchise Show exhibit gives us a chance to share our proven business model and find the ideal franchisees that are a fit for our high care services and culture.”Raleigh is the fastest-growing city in North Carolina and was recently named one of the country’s <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2020/11/01/americas-cheapest-cities-where-everyone-wants-to-live-right-now/114530258/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lightbridge-academy-to-exhibit-at-the-franchise-show-in-raleigh-on-nov-20-and-21-2717178" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">top relocation destinations</a>. Between 2010 and 2020, the population grew <a href="https://patch.com/north-carolina/raleigh/fastest-growing-city-north-carolina?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lightbridge-academy-to-exhibit-at-the-franchise-show-in-raleigh-on-nov-20-and-21-2717178" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">25.6%</a> and is expected to increase by another <a href="https://raltoday.6amcity.com/population-growth-in-raleigh-nc/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lightbridge-academy-to-exhibit-at-the-franchise-show-in-raleigh-on-nov-20-and-21-2717178" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">600,000</a> people by 2030.

Both of their locations opened to <a href="https://1851franchise.com/lightbridgeacademy/new-north-carolina-lightbridge-academyr-franchises-already-receiving-an-a-for-debut-enrollment-numbers-2716433#stories">record enrollment numbers</a>, the highest the franchise brand has ever seen. Just 30 minutes away from Raleigh, the Grovensteins have experienced the growing need for early education and child care resources in the area.&nbsp;“The Raleigh area is perfect for Lightbridge Academy’s North Carolina expansion,” said Lightbridge Academy CEO <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gigischweikert?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lightbridge-academy-to-exhibit-at-the-franchise-show-in-raleigh-on-nov-20-and-21-2717178" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gigi Schweikert</a>. “Lightbridge Academy delivers a trusted child care service along with a solid educational curriculum for all children. We understand the challenges working parents face and their real need to be supported, it is why we developed industry-leading programs like ParentView® Internet Monitoring, a parent eCommunication app, extended hours and state-of-the-art security systems. Last year, we also introduced <a href="http://lightbridgeacademy.com/promise?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=lightbridge-academy-to-exhibit-at-the-franchise-show-in-raleigh-on-nov-20-and-21-2717178" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">The Lightbridge Promise®</a>, which is the Gold Standard in health and safety for child care, including the installation of an enhanced air purification and filtration system along with heightened cleaning and sanitation processes.”Lightbridge Academy is hoping to use Raleigh’s Franchise Show to identify qualified franchise candidates who are a good fit with the company’s values to build on the city’s first two franchises.&nbsp;“The operations at Lightbridge Academy are so well-designed that owners don’t need to have a career in education or child care to run it,” Falzarano said. “We’re looking for solid business people with a passion for children and education, who understand the need to support parents and are committed to following the Lightbridge Academy model.”The brand is fully committed to North Carolina expansion and CEO Gigi Schweikert, SVP of Franchise Sales, Jim DiRugeris and founder and chairman Guy Falzarano will be on hand at the North Carolina State Fair Expo Center to meet prospective franchisees, provide information on the brand’s franchise opportunity and answer questions about its large-scale development plans in the Raleigh area.&nbsp;Interested entrepreneurs can check out Lightbridge Academy’s exhibit at The Franchise Show to learn more about available opportunities with the brand.
