Rare opportunity to acquire an established Code Ninjas — the world's largest kids coding franchise (300+ centers) — serving one of Chicagoland's most affluent, education-obsessed western suburban markets in DuPage County. 

This is a turnkey center with approximately $282,000 invested: a brand-new 2025 build-out ($150K), $25K of equipment, $80K furniture and fixtures, and and $27K protected franchise territory rights. The center relocated in May 2025 to a right-sized 1,600 sq ft space at just $3,800/month NNN — cutting occupancy costs roughly in half and setting up a lean go-forward cost structure. Building a comparable new Code Ninjas runs $177K–$385K per the franchisor's FDD, plus 18–24 months of ramp with zero students and zero revenue. 

The center generated $300,844 of revenue and approximately $113K of seller's discretionary earnings in 2024, demonstrating what the location can do at full enrollment. Trailing-twelve-month revenue is $190K with roughly break-even earnings following the relocation year — a clear recovery play for a hands-on owner-operator willing to rebuild core enrollment on a proven platform. 

Revenue is anchored by recurring coding memberships plus a strong ~$44K/year summer and day-camp business, supported by durable community relationships, including: 

*A multi-year partnership with a leading local park district (camps, day camps and clubs) 

*A high-school internship program with a top-rated public school district's career office 

*STEM mini-course programs across the district's elementary schools 
 

These channels provide enrollment pipeline, local credibility, and B2B program revenue that a new build could not replicate. 

The sale includes all FF&E, the 2025 leasehold build-out, and franchise rights. The franchisor provides comprehensive training and onboarding for new owners; the seller will provide 20 business days of transition training. Seller financing is available for a qualified buyer. Ideal for a first-time owner-operator, an existing children's-education franchisee adding a territory, or an education-minded entrepreneur. 

Confidential details — including exact location, financial statements, and partner agreements — are available upon signing an NDA and buyer qualification.
