What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the cost of leasehold improvements is influenced by several factors. These include the size, condition, and location of the premises. The price differences among contractors, local wage rates, and material costs also play a significant role. Other local conditions and the specific nature of the leasehold improvements required for the Stretch Zone location will further affect these costs.
Notably, the FDD mentions that existing leasehold improvements from a previous tenant or landlord that align well with Stretch Zone's requirements can potentially reduce costs. This highlights the importance of carefully evaluating potential locations for existing infrastructure that could be leveraged.
In addition, if the real estate space meets Stretch Zone's criteria of a vanilla box with all plumbing and electrical intact, no architect or contractor is needed. Stretch Zone's Store Opening Specialists design the space and do the layout, and no additional walls need to be constructed. They simply need an empty 1,000- 1,200 sq. ft. space that has a bathroom. Then they place furniture, fixtures and equipment in place.
