Snapology Achieves No. 1 Status in Children's STEM Franchising for Fifth Year Running

Snapology: A Leading Force in Children's STEM Education

Snapology has been honored as the top children's STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) franchise in the latest Entrepreneur's Franchise 500® list, achieving this milestone for an impressive fifth consecutive year. The DALLAS-based franchise has continually demonstrated its value in the youth enrichment sector, registering significant achievements that cement its position as a leader.

In the 2026 list, Snapology earned the overall ranking of No. 389 and was highlighted for its exceptional commitment to growth and consistency as a franchise opportunity. Evaluated on more than 150 criteria, including operational efficiency, financial stability, and yearly progress, the recognition is a testament to Snapology's dedication to providing innovative educational experiences for children.

Expanding Horizons

Throughout 2025, Snapology emphasized strategic development and operational excellence, marking a successful year that saw the opening of 36 new locations and the awarding of 15 franchise agreements across eight states, including California, Colorado, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas. This expansion facilitates the delivery of high-quality STEAM programming to more communities nationwide.

The entrance of Ani Mehta as the Brand President in January 2025 further amplified Snapology's strategic initiatives. With a fresh approach focused on enhancing franchisee performance and operational alignment, the brand aims to bolster long-term growth.

Snapology also introduced an Advanced Coaching Program to support franchise owners. This structured program fosters goal-setting and planning, which has yielded remarkable results, with participants reporting an average revenue increase of 128% year-over-year. Additionally, a Centralized New Franchisee Training initiative was launched to create uniformity and collaboration in onboarding new owners, setting them on a path towards sustained success.

Innovation in Curriculum

Continuing its commitment to educational excellence, Snapology expanded its curriculum by introducing new robotics programs and updated kits. These enhancements offer children engaging hands-on learning experiences in engineering, coding, and problem-solving, thereby reinforcing Snapology's pledge to provide adults and children alike with cutting-edge STEAM education.

A Vision for the Future

Ani Mehta expressed her thoughts on this prestigious recognition, stating, "Being recognized as the No. 1 children's STEM franchise for the fifth consecutive year speaks to the strength and consistency of the Snapology system. This accolade reflects our focused efforts to enhance operational strategies, invest in franchisee success, and maintain a solid foundation for growth. Our primary goal moving forward is to empower our franchise owners while inspiring the next generation through meaningful STEM/STEAM learning experiences."
