What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when approving suppliers for the Business System, Stretch Zone may consider factors such as the price and quality of the products or services offered. The reliability of the supplier is also a factor that Stretch Zone may consider.
Stretch Zone may concentrate purchases with one or more suppliers to obtain the lowest prices, the best advertising support, and/or services for any group of Franchised Units or Company-Owned Units. This approach allows Stretch Zone to leverage its collective buying power to negotiate favorable terms and ensure consistent quality across the franchise system.
Approval of a supplier may be conditioned on requirements regarding the frequency of delivery, standards of service, and warranty policies. This ensures that suppliers meet Stretch Zone's expectations for service levels and product support. By setting these conditions, Stretch Zone aims to maintain a high level of operational consistency and customer satisfaction across all franchise locations.
