Now, in 2022, the brand is gearing up to open a new center, on average, every other week throughout the year, following its best year of awarding franchises in over a decade. New franchisees have already entered the year on a high note, with six of the planned openings already generating revenue through the brand’s virtual model while the brick and mortar locations are under construction.“We want to penetrate more of the country and be in communities that could really use Sylvan Learning,” said Sylvan’s CMO, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amy-przywara-5512b61/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-plans-to-add-a-new-location-every-other-week-throughout-2022-finishes-2021-by-awarding-47-deals-during-its-best-year-of-franchise-development-in-more-than-a-decade-2717843" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Amy Przywara</a>. “We are also working on accommodating self-service options. For example, someone could book a virtual session for tomorrow or the next day because they sense that their child needs something.”Sylvan Learning’s CEO, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mcauliffe-b309152a/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-plans-to-add-a-new-location-every-other-week-throughout-2022-finishes-2021-by-awarding-47-deals-during-its-best-year-of-franchise-development-in-more-than-a-decade-2717843" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">John McAuliffe</a>, says because the brand has always prioritized a&nbsp; mentality of evolving with the times and adapting to the needs of children, the franchise has been able to grow and meet its goals year after year.&nbsp;&nbsp;“First and foremost, in 2022 and beyond, we want to grow more locations than we currently have,” said McAuliffe. “We have over 720 brick-and-mortar and satellite locations; we’d like to significantly grow that to meet the needs of more students. Also, we constantly look at new products, programs and the evolution of content so that we can address every child's academic needs.”&nbsp;The brand’s development goals in 2022 start with Texas, where more franchisees are stepping up to the plate to assist children suffering from COVID learning loss. With 60 existing centers in the state, Sylvan has seen a recent surge in sales and new-owner signings and is seeking continued growth in 70 additional markets throughout the state.Sylvan’s home state of Maryland is another priority market for development, as schools there have been hit especially hard by COVID disruption. By <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/bs-ed-op-0114-covid-learning-loss-20210113-xgqscmyj4behfprekle7byk4vy-story.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-plans-to-add-a-new-location-every-other-week-throughout-2022-finishes-2021-by-awarding-47-deals-during-its-best-year-of-franchise-development-in-more-than-a-decade-2717843" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">some estimates</a>, middle class students have lost at least three months of learning and possibly up to half a year, while impoverished students have lost as much as a year and a half.Luckily, Sylvan is uniquely well suited to address the problem, McAuliffe said.&nbsp;“We’re confident about our ability to transform outcomes for our students,” said McAuliffe. “New federal funding for schools struggling to get their students caught up has allowed us to bring our individualized method to schools and meet students exactly where they are.”Sylvan saw double-digit growth in 2021 and is now planning for aggressive expansion in 2022 to tackle the COVID-related learning challenges for students. That growth is supported, McAuliffe says, by a surge of prospective franchisees who are looking to change careers and make a positive impact in their communities.Jenny Nelson is an educator who brought a Sylvan to the community of El Campo, Texas, in 2021. “Before COVID, I saw the need, but now we need it even more,” said Nelson. “I know people that drive hours to bring their children to the nearest Sylvan Learning. There are no tutoring or educational franchise offerings within an hour of our area. It really just came down to there being a need in our community for Sylvan Learning to help students of all age levels receive the help they need.”“We're hearing from people who are reevaluating their careers and asking themselves, ‘What do I want to do the rest of my life?’ They want to uplift their communities by owning their own businesses. Sylvan is this ideal opportunity for so many of these potential franchisees wanting a meaningful career shift.”&nbsp;In addition to Texas and Maryland, priority markets for development include California, New York, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey and Massachusetts.&nbsp;“I’ve been with Sylvan for 32 years, and I moved here in 1986 from Indianapolis because I looked all over the country and decided this was where I wanted to live,” said Sylvan Learning franchisee in Fort Myers, Florida, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/terry-hiduke-4585616b?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-plans-to-add-a-new-location-every-other-week-throughout-2022-finishes-2021-by-awarding-47-deals-during-its-best-year-of-franchise-development-in-more-than-a-decade-2717843" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Terry Hiduke</a>. “Florida is such a great place for a Sylvan, because the kids here really need our help and truly benefit from the supplemental learning.”Learn more about franchising opportunities at <a href="http://www.sylvanfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-plans-to-add-a-new-location-every-other-week-throughout-2022-finishes-2021-by-awarding-47-deals-during-its-best-year-of-franchise-development-in-more-than-a-decade-2717843" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.sylvanfranchise.com</a>.ABOUT SYLVAN LEARNING:With more than 40 years of experience and more than 710 points of presence, Sylvan Learning is the leading provider of personal learning for students in grades K-12.
