What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2022, there were a total of 156 units. This number includes both franchised and company-owned locations. Specifically, there were 153 franchised units and 3 company-owned units at the beginning of 2022.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the existing scale of the Stretch Zone franchise system at that time. It provides a baseline for understanding the growth and changes that have occurred in subsequent years. The distinction between franchised and company-owned units can also be relevant, as it may reflect the company's strategy regarding corporate-owned locations versus franchised operations.
It's worth noting the changes in unit numbers over the following years. By the end of 2022, the total number of units had increased to 243, with 240 franchised and 3 company-owned. This growth trend may be of interest to potential franchisees as an indicator of the brand's expansion and market penetration.
