What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Stretch Zone specifies the outdoor signs for the franchise, but this is subject to the landlord's and local governmental agency's requirements. The franchisee is responsible for maintaining the outdoor signs in a condition that is acceptable to Stretch Zone. The cost for outdoor signage is between $2,000 and $11,000, and sometimes the cost of the outdoor signage is included in the lease.
For indoor signage and graphics, the franchisee must purchase these from Stretch Zone's Designated Supplier, Store Décor. The franchisee may prepare, construct, and erect the indoor signs and graphics after obtaining approval from the applicable governmental authority and the landlord. The franchisee will also need to maintain the interior signs and graphics in a condition acceptable to Stretch Zone.
These stipulations are typical in franchising, as franchisors want to maintain brand consistency across all locations. Franchisees should confirm with Stretch Zone what the typical costs are for signage in their area and what is included in the lease agreement.
