What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Stretch Zone's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Stretch Zone may provide franchisees with preapproved radio scripts and camera-ready television commercials for use in their Designated Market Area (DMA). However, this assistance is conditional.
Specifically, Stretch Zone will only provide these materials if they are created using funds from the Media Fund. The Media Fund is a dedicated pool of money collected from both franchised and company-owned units, used for creating advertising, marketing, and promotional materials that Stretch Zone deems beneficial to the overall business system.
This means that access to these pre-made advertising resources is not guaranteed and depends on the availability of funds within the Media Fund and Stretch Zone's discretion in allocating those funds. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the typical content and availability of these resources, as well as how the Media Fund is managed and utilized, to understand the potential support they might receive for local advertising campaigns.
