What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 240 franchised Stretch Zone units operating at the start of 2023. This number reflects the total number of franchise locations open and operating as of January 1, 2023.
This figure is important for potential franchisees as it provides a snapshot of the brand's established presence at that time. It shows the size and scale of the franchise system as it existed before any new openings or closures during 2023. A larger number of existing units can indicate a more mature and potentially stable franchise network.
The FDD also indicates that the number of franchised units grew from 240 at the start of 2023 to 330 by the end of 2023, representing a net increase of 90 units. This growth rate could be an attractive factor for prospective franchisees, suggesting a rapidly expanding brand with increasing market penetration.
