What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchisee or their initial designated representative does not attend the Regional Manager Training Program in connection with the Franchisee Training Program, a training fee is required for any other individual attending. This includes any replacement designated representative who will serve as the Regional Manager. The training fee for such individuals is $515 per person.
This fee covers the cost of the Regional Manager Training Program provided at Stretch Zone's training facility in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is important to note that Regional Managers in training must complete the mandatory pre-requisites of both Stretch Practitioner Training and Sales Associate Training. The franchisee is responsible for covering this $515 training fee for each additional or replacement individual attending the Regional Manager Training Program.
This policy ensures that Stretch Zone is compensated for the training provided to individuals beyond the initial franchisee or designated representative. It also incentivizes franchisees to carefully select their initial Regional Manager, as any replacements will incur additional training costs. Prospective franchisees should factor this potential expense into their budget when considering the staffing and training requirements for their Stretch Zone business.
