Colorado Springs, Colo., – Franchise Magazine has released its “Top 100 Franchises” for the year and LearningRx has made the list.

It’s hardly the first accolade for the growing franchise, which specializes in cognitive skills therapy or “brain training.” The Colorado-based company was also recently named as the 45th-fastest growing franchise system by Franchise Times, which was soon followed by an exceptional franchisee Net Promoter Score of 69%.

“While we knew our clients and franchise owners were very happy with our cognitive skills training programs based on the hundreds of calls, emails and letters we’ve received, it wasn’t until we applied the Net Promoter evaluation that we truly understood our level of franchisee satisfaction,” said Dr. Ken Gibson, founder and CEO of LearningRx. “With the average company in America coming in around 11%, our score of 69% just solidified that we were not only doing something we believed in, but also changing the lives of our clients and franchise owners for the better.”

The recent ranking in Franchise Magazine’s Top 100 confirms industry speculation that “brain training” holds incredible potential for both educational/mental development and financial gain. Anjan Chatterjee of Popular Science even says “Prospecting for better brains may be the new gold rush.”

“LearningRx expects to grow from 36 centers to 300 by 2009,” said Dr. Gibson. “There’s an ever-growing need for cognitive skills training in our country and beyond. We’ve developed a successful program that allows us to fill a niche and help our participants become better learners.”
