What is the typical size of the premises for a Stretch Zone franchise?
Stretch_Zone Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
The typical size of the Premises is 1,000 to 1,500 square feet.
We assume that the landlord will require first and last months' rent and a security deposit equal to one months' rent.
In addition, rent may be subject to tax.
For example, Florida imposes a 5.5% state sales tax on commercial rent.
There may also be a tax imposed by a county.
The tenant usually pays this tax.
Lease costs will vary based upon variances in: (i) size in square feet leased; (ii) cost per square foot; (iii) amount of percentage rent, if any; (iv) the sales figure that percentage rent begins to apply (the "break point"); (v) common area maintenance costs; and (vi) merchant's association costs.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the typical size of the premises for a location is between 1,000 to 1,500 square feet. The FDD indicates that Stretch Zone expects franchisees will lease rather than own the real estate for their business.
However, if the real estate space meets Stretch Zone's criteria of a vanilla box with all plumbing and electrical intact, no architect or contractor is needed. In this case, Stretch Zone only needs an empty 1,000 to 1,200 sq. ft. space that has a bathroom. The Store Opening Specialists will design the space and do the layout, placing furniture, fixtures, and equipment in place without constructing additional walls.
Lease costs for a Stretch Zone location will vary based on several factors, including the size in square feet leased, the cost per square foot, percentage rent, common area maintenance costs, and merchant's association costs. These variances are determined by location, lease length, the age of the leased property, local market conditions, the size of the premises, and the bargaining power of the developer or property management company. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these factors when evaluating potential locations and negotiating lease terms.
