ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Creative Learning Corporation (OTCQX: CLCN)("CLC" or the "Company") announced today that the proxy contest of Brian Pappas and FranVentures has failed and that there will be no change in the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").  CLC Board Chairman Chuck Grant said, "With the disruption of the proxy contest behind us, we are happy now to be able to concentrate all our energy upon several important initiatives to increase franchise sales, grow franchisee success and enhancing our wonderful brand and educational methods.  This is all designed to significantly increase profitability and shareholder value."  To this end, the Company is proceeding immediately with several important initiatives that it has been developing.

• new strategies for coordination and communication with franchisees;
• plans for the development and distribution of new tools to assist franchisees with sales and business operations;
• refocused curriculum development; and
• enhanced marketing efforts to more effectively reach CLC's target market and to foster brand and business growth.
