What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Stretch Zone FDD, Stretch Zone Holdings LLC (SZH) does not offer franchises in any line of business. The document specifies that SZH previously owned and licensed the intellectual property to Stretch Zone Franchising LLC, but as part of an acquisition, Stretch Zone Franchising LLC became the owner of the intellectual property. SZH has held a majority interest in three Stretch Zone businesses in Florida since their respective openings (one in 2016 and two in 2017), and as part of the acquisition, SZH entered into a franchise agreement with Stretch Zone Franchising LLC for each of these Stretch Zone businesses.
This means that SZH's involvement is limited to owning and operating a few Stretch Zone locations under a franchise agreement with Stretch Zone Franchising LLC. SZH does not offer franchises to the general public or provide any products or services to Stretch Zone franchisees.
Prospective franchisees should be aware that SZH's role is distinct from that of Stretch Zone Franchising LLC, which is the entity that actually offers and supports the Stretch Zone franchise system. Therefore, franchisees will interact directly with Stretch Zone Franchising LLC, not SZH, for all matters related to franchising.
