The Katy News: Lightbridge Academy® Targets Greater Houston, Including Katy for Expansion

Lightbridge Academy continues to expand its brand nationwide after a successful 2021. The early education and child care brand opened nine new locations and completed 10 signings. They are now targeting Texas as they shoot for their goal of expanding to 150 centers by 2025.

According to the 2010 census, the Houston population grew by nearly 11 percent. The prime location for families brings a demand for education needs. Lightbridge Academy believes the Houston market has the capacity for about 35 of its centers. 

“With 25 years of child care operations and 10 of those years in franchising, Lightbridge Academy is highly experienced in expanding into major markets such as Houston,” said Jim DiRugeris, Senior Vice President of Franchise Sales for Lightbridge Academy. “It’s very attractive for franchisees wanting to own more than one child care center.”

Lightbridge Academy is focusing on establishing a presence in the flourishing markets of Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, Atascocita and Pearland.
