According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial franchise fee covers the Franchisee Training Program for specific individuals. The Franchisee Training Program is provided before opening at Stretch Zone's training facility at its corporate headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This training is to be completed by the franchisee if they are one or more individuals, or by the Franchise Owners if the franchisee is a Business Entity, and must occur within 30 days of signing the Franchise Agreement.
Furthermore, if the franchisee or their initial Designated Representative will act as the Regional Manager and attend the Regional Manager Training Program in connection with the Franchisee Training Program, the initial franchise fee covers the Regional Manager Training Program for that individual. However, if any other individual attends the Regional Manager Training Program, including a replacement Designated Representative, the franchisee must pay a training fee of $515 per person.
In summary, the initial franchise fee covers the Franchisee Training Program for the franchisee or Franchise Owners and may extend to the Regional Manager Training Program if the franchisee or their initial representative will serve as the Regional Manager. Additional training fees apply for other individuals or replacement personnel attending these programs.
