Franchise Owner
Lauren K. Briles
Meet Lauren – dedicated mother, entrepreneur and proud Franchise Owner of Primrose of Greenville and Primrose School of Midtown Greenville. Understanding the value of early childhood education and character development, Lauren is excited to bring the first Primrose School to the state of South Carolina. Originally from Austin, Texas, Lauren attended Furman University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in communication studies. Following graduation, Lauren married her college sweetheart, Tim, and made a home in Greenville. She has 15 years of experience as a real estate professional in Greenville, ten of which have been with the company she started with her husband, The Briles Company. An active member of the community, Lauren also dedicates time to numerous organizations including Greenville First Steps, Reach Out and Read, , and Christ Church. Lauren recognized a need in her community for early childhood education options as her friends began to start families of their own. Many parents were waitlisted at nearby child care centers and forced to travel more than an hour daily to bring their child to preschool. First introduced to Primrose in Atlanta, Lauren quickly became an avid supporter of the brand and knew it would be a perfect fit for the Greenville community. “As a parent, I understand the importance of instilling a love of learning during a child’s early years, and believe this is essential to building a new generation of bright citizens,” said Lauren. “I am thrilled with the opportunity to bring a new option in early childhood education to the Greenville community and look forward to providing a nurturing learning environment that will help children succeed later in life.” Lauren is involved with all aspects of daily operations at the both schools l as Tim continues as an insurance professional with The Briles Company Insurance. Their daughter, Emma, graduated from Primrose School of Greenville and their son, Xander, is now attending.
