Kumon recently was recognized for the eighth consecutive year by Entrepreneur magazine as the leading tutoring franchise.  The company, which specializes in helping children develop a solid command of math and reading skills, has 26,000 centers in 46 countries, including three in the immediate Herndon/Sterling/Chantilly market.  

“We are pleased to have Kumon at Dulles Park,” said JBGR Vice President John Mitchell, “and are confident they will find success here.  Regardless of what the economy is doing, education continues to be a top priority for families. This fact, matched with the demographics in Herndon, the tenant mix at Dulles Park, and the strength of the Kumon brand is surely a recipe for success.”
