ATLANTA, Ga. (April 21, 2025) – Code Ninjas, a leading name in kids’ coding education, is ramping up its Texas expansion with a goal to open more than 15 new centers across the Lone Star State. By partnering with driven, mission-aligned franchisees, the brand aims to bring its signature blend of fun and foundational STEM learning to even more families. This next phase of growth follows the successful launch of the Bellaire location in Q4 of last year and comes as the team gears up to open its third corporate-owned dojo in Austin in late 2025.

With 36 locations already established across 32 Texas cities, Code Ninjas is doubling down on statewide growth—specifically targeting Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio as key markets for expansion. These cities represent some of the state’s highest potential for bringing Code Ninjas' unique, play-based coding curriculum to more families. Code Ninjas is rapidly moving to partner with franchisees to launch new dojos immediately, aiming to equip thousands of kids across Texas with the coding skills, confidence, and creativity to thrive in a fast-moving, tech-driven world.

Entering this year, the franchising industry grew by 2.2% in 2024, exceeding the annual projection of 1.9%. Additionally, franchising is anticipated to add approximately 210,000 jobs in 2025 with the Southwest leading the way in franchise output growth at 8.5%.

"Texas has always been a strong market for Code Ninjas, and we're excited to build on that momentum by actively seeking passionate franchise partners across the state,” said Mike Rodrigues, Vice President of Franchise Development at Code Ninjas. “With a growing demand for STEM education and tech-forward enrichment programs, there's never been a better time to bring Code Ninjas to more communities in Texas, and the surge of interest within the state reflects this trend. By opening more dojos, we can make coding education more accessible to children across Texas and help in preparing them for a tech-focused world.”

According to recent data, the global simulation learning market is projected to grow by $1.2 billion from 2024 to 2032, while computer science jobs are expected to see a 15% increase by 2029 – making children’s coding education an invaluable investment into their future and Code Ninjas a prime opportunity for potential franchisees.

Code Ninjas allows children ages 5-15 to immerse themselves in a fun and inclusive environment that provides an opportunity to empower their young minds through interactive and playful technology. Programs at Code Ninjas allow children to learn important life and professional development skills - collaboration, critical-thinking, creativity, resilience, leadership, communication and presentation, reading, problem-solving, community, and team building – that can guide them in any career.

For franchisees, Code Ninjas offers industry-leading support from the first day that includes real estate, new franchisee training, grand opening, operations, and marketing to help grow your center. The ideal Code Ninjas franchisee exhibits a passion for inspiring and empowering the next generation of coder. While a background in education or technology is beneficial, it isn’t required. Ultimately, having a drive to make a positive impact in their community by providing fun, engaging, and supportive environment for kids is critical. Franchisees can expect a total investment range between $174,750 - $298,250*.
