What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees can rely on several methods of support and instruction from the franchisor. Stretch Zone will provide informational assistance via telephone and email through their StretchNet Portal. This includes consultation on matters such as operations, advertising, promotion, and business methods.

Stretch Zone also maintains a website for use by franchisees. Franchisees are provided with a store email address, and it is expected that franchisees check this email daily (except Sundays) for important information affecting the Business System and their franchise. Franchisees must acknowledge receipt of emails from Stretch Zone and respond to requests within 24 hours.

In addition to these resources, Stretch Zone will provide promotional methods and materials that they develop. They may also provide pre-approved radio scripts and camera-ready television commercials for use in the franchisee's DMA, provided these are created through funds in the Media Fund. Stretch Zone also conducts an annual recertification training program for all Certified Stretch Zone Practitioners of each franchise, with a fee of $2,000 per franchise, regardless of the number of practitioners. The franchisee is responsible for the representatives' travel, meals, and lodging expenses, and while the program is currently offered virtually, Stretch Zone reserves the right to conduct such training in person.
