Company Information
250 West Pratt Street Baltimore, MD 21201
Pandora Franchising, LLC is a Maryland limited liability company that was formed on October 2, 2009. Their business address is 250 West Pratt Street. Baltimore, Maryland 21201. They have offered PANDORA franchises since January 2010.
We offer franchises for the operation of a CompuChild business which teaches children in preschools, daycare centers, and other similar venues about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) educational enrichment programs. The Franchise is normally operated from a home office if local jurisdiction permits. Franchisees market to and conduct classes at preschools, daycare centers, elementary schools and other similar venues. You will determine the number and frequency of the classes you offer (monthly, weekly or bi-weekly). Students are 2-10 years old (primarily between the ages of 3 to 6) and the typical class size is 512 students. Our curriculum includes more than 50 lesson plans for STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) enrichment classes such as robotics and digital microscopes that you offer at your discretion. All CompuChild franchises (i) use our trademarks, trade names, service marks and commercial symbols (collectively, the "Proprietary Marks"); and (ii) operate under distinctive operating procedures and standards specified by us (the "System"). A business operated under the Proprietary Marks and System is referred to in this Franchise Disclosure Document as the "Franchise Business" or "Franchise." If approved by us, you, or the shareholders or members of your business entity, will have the right to sign a franchise agreement (the "Franchise Agreement") for the establishment and operation of a Franchise in a geographic area designated in the Franchise Agreement (the "Designated Marketing Area"), which is exclusive to your Franchise. The initial term of the franchise is for 5 years with options for unlimited 5-year renewal terms. You must develop and operate your Franchise according to our standards, processes, procedures and specifications. The distinguishing characteristics of a CompuChild Franchise include distinctive lesson plans, teaching protocols, products and operating methods; uniform standards; procedures for management; technical assistance and training in the operation and management of the Franchise Business; advertising and marketing materials; the Manual(s); and bookkeeping and accounting methods and procedures; all of which may be changed, improved and further developed by us. The terms of each offer we make for franchises under this Disclosure are the same. We reserve the right to change franchise terms for future Franchisees. If we do, this Disclosure will be modified to reflect such changes.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $809,000 Maximum: $1,026,000
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $1,330,000 Maximum: $2,116,000
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
