Kids R Kids franchise in Nevada: what the public record shows
Franchisees of Kids R Kids in Nevada have taken 5 SBA loans since 1991 (average $1,287,260)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 5.4% is the better guide.
