Married couple Mistie and Scott Wisniewski entered into franchising when Mistie retired from the army after 22 years.

Now they are once again surrounded by a team of people working to make their branch of Nutty Scientists fun and growing.  Read on to see what they’ve learned so far as they work to educate children.
