Which sections of the Stretch Zone Franchise Agreement address site selection and acquisition/lease obligations?

According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Section 4.1 of the Franchise Agreement pertains to site selection and acquisition/lease obligations. Item 6 of the disclosure document, along with Items 7, 8, and 11, also provide information regarding these obligations.

Within 30 days of signing the Franchise Agreement, Stretch Zone requires franchisees to find a site in the Site Selection Area that meets Stretch Zone's criteria. Franchisees must submit material information about the proposed site, including pictures, population demographics within a 3-mile radius, traffic information, parking details, visibility, neighborhood character, competitive businesses, proximity to other businesses, and the site's physical characteristics.

Any lease agreement must be conditional upon Stretch Zone's written approval, which is granted when the property owner, the franchisee, and Stretch Zone sign the form of Agreement with Landlord. However, Stretch Zone clarifies that their approval or disapproval of a proposed lease does not impose any liability on them. This means that while Stretch Zone has approval power over the site, the franchisee bears the ultimate responsibility for the lease terms and the site's suitability.
