Stretch Zone Expands to Canada: A New Chapter Begins
Stretch Zone, the leader in practitioner-assisted stretching from the United States, has marked a significant milestone by opening its inaugural studio in Canada. This grand opening is seen as a strategic move as it enters the Canadian wellness market, aligning with the company’s mission to promote better health through innovative stretching techniques. Located conveniently at 1898 Avenue Road, the new studio is set to benefit from the increasing demand for wellness services across the globe.
With an impressive track record in the United States, Stretch Zone boasts over 400 locations with no closures, showcasing its robust franchise model. The brand's rapid expansion is evidenced by a staggering 58% compound annual growth rate in recent years. This growth has seen Stretch Zone enter ten new states in one year and double its print footprint in just 18 months. Such momentum has now positioned the brand for international scaling.
Tony Zaccario, CEO of Stretch Zone, expressed his excitement, stating, "Our first international opening represents an exciting step forward for Stretch Zone as we introduce our innovative approach to flexibility and mobility to an international audience." Canada was chosen as the brand's first global expansion market, primarily due to its strong emphasis on wellness, active living, and preventative health care—principles that resonate well with the company's core values.
The Ontario studio will be led by local franchisees Joe Korman, Avie Roth, and their partners. They share the enthusiasm of the team's leadership for the new venture. Korman stated, “We're honored to open the very first Stretch Zone in Canada and to share this incredible concept with our community.” This sentiment reflects the shared vision of bettering the health and mobility of individuals through expert-assisted stretching.
As part of its franchise support strategy, Stretch Zone has equipped its partners with comprehensive resources including guidance on real estate selection, operational training, marketing support, and ongoing coaching. This foundation ensures that franchise partners have the necessary tools to build a sustainable business from the outset.
Stretch Zone studios provide a comfortable and professional setting that allows members to experience enhanced mobility and overall wellness through customized stretching programs tailored to individual needs. This approach not only aids in recovery but also promotes longevity in one’s physical health journey.
As Stretch Zone continues its journey of growth, it remains dedicated to transforming the understanding and utilization of assisted stretching. The new studio in Canada marks not only a geographical expansion but also paves the way for future openings in other international markets.
