What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of units in Florida has increased between 2022 and 2024. Specifically, the number of franchise units in Florida has grown from 41 at the start of 2022 to 72 at the end of 2023, and finally to 81 at the end of 2024. This demonstrates a consistent upward trend in the number of Stretch Zone franchise locations in Florida over the three-year period.
In 2022, 13 new Stretch Zone franchise units opened in Florida, bringing the total to 54 by the end of the year. The following year, in 2023, 18 new franchise units were opened, increasing the total to 72. However, in 2024, the growth slowed down with only 9 new units opening, resulting in a total of 81 franchise units by the end of the year.
In addition to franchise units, Stretch Zone also operated company-owned units in Florida. In 2022, there were 3 company-owned units, but by the end of 2023, all 3 of these units had ceased operations. There were no company-owned units in Florida in 2024. This shift from company-owned to franchise units may be important for prospective franchisees to understand, as it could indicate a strategic decision by Stretch Zone to focus on franchise growth in Florida.
