Best in Class Education Center, a top-of-the-line education enrichment program that focuses on building better students and teachers, is entering new communities across the country at record-breaking rates. The brand is excited to celebrate its newest opening in Suwanee, Georgia on November 10, which will be operated by the Ruttle family – husband-and-wife duo Chris and Molly and their son, Carter.

Chris Ruttle was inspired to open a family-owned franchise last year after meeting with a franchise consultant in November of 2017. The consultant helped Chris and his family explore multiple franchising opportunities, and the Ruttle family ultimately chose Best in Class in February of 2018. Located approximately 50 minutes northeast of Atlanta via I-85, Suwanee is recognized for its growing population. In 2018, Niche named Suwanee as having the best public schools in the state of Georgia.

“Best in Class has a flexible education model unlike any other educational brand,” Chris said. “They don’t require contracts and their downloadable curriculum makes keeping the lessons up-to-date very efficient.”

The grand opening will take place at the new Suwanee location, which is at 3875 Johns Creek Pkwy, Suite D on November 10 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The opening will feature prize drawings, door prizes, food and drink and a grand opening special. The grand opening special will contain a registration fee waiver, free assessment tests and two free classes, all at a $140 value.

“We have lived in the Atlanta area since 1996, and between the three of us we bring a great deal of knowledge about the area and experience within the education market,” Molly said. “In Georgia, education is a very important issue and keeps improving due to expanded attention by parents, school systems and the state. Best in Class programs add quality education options to support this improvement on a student-by-student basis.”

Best in Class offers an unparalleled opportunity for both consumers and the franchisees that sign on to open up their own centers. Its tailored curriculum allows students to build both foundational skills as well as critical thinking and analytical skills. That attention to detail has positioned Best in Class as the undisputed leader of the supplemental education industry, ultimately boosting business while at the same time helping students realize their full potential inside the classroom.

In 2018, the brand opened 12 new centers and has five more in development. The goal in 2019 is to open 20 new locations. Markets in which Best in Class has either already opened or will open soon include Dallas, Texas, Austin, Texas, Charlotte, North Carolina and Cincinnati, Ohio.

“We are so excited to have the Ruttle family as part of our team of franchisees and look forward to our entrance into Georgia for the first time ever with the Suwanee center,” said Best in Class Vice President of Franchise Development Sharon Peterson. “This year we have celebrated positive growth momentum throughout the East Coast and Southwest with strong openings in New Jersey and Florida. Georgia offers a similar environment to these regions and we are thrilled to offer our services to families that have not had the opportunity to experience Best in Class Education Center as of yet.”

The Ruttle family plans to grow their Best in Class franchise and has plans to open multiple locations in the north Atlanta area through 2019.

“I’m thrilled to have franchised with Best in Class, and I’m also thrilled to undertake this adventure with my wife and son,” Chris said. “We really want to make an impact on the community and are focused on helping students succeed.”
