Stretch Zone Expands to Canada, Marking International Growth Milestone

With 400+ Studios and Zero Closures to Date, The Brand Leads the Way as Assisted Stretching Gains Global Traction

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Stretch Zone, the U.S. leader in practitioner-assisted stretching, announces the grand opening of its first location in Canada, marking a significant milestone in the brand's international growth. The new studio, located at 1898 Avenue Rd, represents the brand's official entry into Canada and underscores its continued trajectory as one of the fastest-growing concepts in the wellness and recovery category.

Backed by a strong franchise model and consistent consumer demand, Stretch Zone has expanded to more than 400 locations across the United States with zero closures to date. The brand has sustained a 58% compound annual growth rate in recent years, entering ten new states in a single year and doubling its footprint in just 18 months. This momentum now positions Stretch Zone to extend its market leadership on an international scale. 

"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," said Tony Zaccario, CEO of Stretch Zone. "Ontario is the first of many international markets we plan to serve, and we're thrilled to bring the benefits of assisted stretching to this vibrant community. Canada was a natural choice for our first global expansion because of its strong focus on wellness, active living, and preventative health care, values that align perfectly with Stretch Zone's mission. Our long-term goal is to make practitioner-assisted stretching as common and accessible as personal training or chiropractic care. This opening marks the beginning of a new chapter in our journey to elevate health and mobility for people around the world."

Led by local franchisees Joe Korman, Avie Roth and their partners, they are equally enthusiastic about the launch and look forward to making Stretch Zone a household name in Canada. As with all new openings, Stretch Zone has provided comprehensive support—including real estate guidance, operational training, marketing resources, and ongoing coaching—to ensure franchise partners have the tools they need to establish and sustain a thriving business from day one.

"We're honoured to open the very first Stretch Zone in Canada and to share this incredible concept with our community," said Korman. "From the moment we joined the system, we felt supported every step of the way. The brand's proven model and dedicated leadership gave us the confidence to introduce this service to Canadians, and we're excited to help people move better, recover faster, and feel their best."

Stretch Zone's studios are designed to provide a comfortable, professional environment where members can experience increased mobility and improved overall wellness through customized stretching programs.
