Kumon Learning Centres is one of the country’s largest supplemental education franchise systems, with about 450 locations operating in communities from coast to coast. The company continues to pursue measured expansion across the country through both single- and multi-unit franchisees, targeting growing suburban neighbourhoods, established urban markets, and underserved communities with strong family demographics. Kumon centres typically occupy 1000 to 1200 square feet in neighbourhood retail plazas, convenience centres, mixed-use developments, and other high-visibility commercial locations that offer convenient access, ample parking, and proximity to residential areas, schools, and complementary family-oriented retailers and services. End-cap and inline units are both suitable, provided they offer good signage opportunities and safe, convenient customer access. Ron Odagaki and Lauren Yanick at Jones Lang LaSalle Real Estate Services have been retained to handle the site selection in Alberta and are securing several locations this year in Edmonton, Calgary, and the surrounding satellite communities.
