After the Stretch Zone franchise is terminated or expires, what is the geographic radius within which involvement with a Competitive Business is prohibited?

According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchise agreement is terminated or expires, the franchisee is subject to a non-compete covenant for 24 months. During this period, the franchisee cannot be involved with any Competitive Business within 50 miles of any Stretch Zone Franchise Business then in operation or under contract.

This restriction prevents former franchisees from leveraging their knowledge and experience gained while operating a Stretch Zone franchise to directly compete with the brand. The 50-mile radius aims to protect existing Stretch Zone locations from potential competition from a former franchisee who might open a similar business nearby.

It is important to note that these non-competition provisions are subject to state law, which means the enforceability and specific terms may vary depending on the franchisee's location. Franchisees should consult with legal counsel to understand the specific implications of the non-compete agreement in their state. This should be carefully considered before entering into a franchise agreement with Stretch Zone.
