What Makes a Successful Franchisee?

 

As the premier fitness program for children, with more franchisees and children involved in improving fitness levels throughout the world than any other program, we know what to look for in a successful Stretch-n-Grow owner.    While we have a diversified group of personalities, our franchisees share three predominant attributes:  #1 - They love children!   #2 -They are dedicated to fitness and wellness, and helping to fight the growing problem of poor exercise and nutritional habits.   #3 - They want to own their own business.

The Stretch-n-Grow solution  is proven.  The Stretch-n-Grow system  is simple.   The Stretch-n-Grow materials are comprehensive.   The Stretch-n-Grow market is growing.   Our challenge is to find talented people who can say “yes” to the following questions: 

Do I enjoy children and exercise?  Since these are the two key elements of our program, it is vital that a prospective buyer loves kids and wants to be fit!!  One of the great benefits of Stretch-n-Grow is you will get plenty of exercise!  Our franchisees improve their fitness level while having fun exercising with their Stars!! 


Am I concerned with improving the wellness of our future:  our children?  Most of the major health concerns in our world today stem from people not developing healthy lifestyles at an early age.   Obesity, which often results in heart disease, stroke, diabetes and/or cancer, is a result of poor eating habits and lack of exercise.   Stretch-n-Grow is attacking the problem at its roots, in young children whose habits have not yet been formed.


Am I a self-starter, willing to apply the self-discipline required to start my own business?  Whether you choose the Stretch-n-Grow franchise or another vehicle for self-employment, understand that that choice will require you to “be your own boss.”    The plan we provide gives you step-by-step instruction on everything from marketing to running classes.   The motivation comes from within.


Can I comfortably make the required investments of time and money?  The approximate initial financial investment to start your Stretch-n-Grow business is under $24,000.   This estimate includes the initial franchise fee of $22,600 and start-up costs such as professional liability insurance, equipment, music, and office materials.  (You will need a computer with email and Microsoft Word, which is not included.) 

Your time-commitment is based on how quickly you want (or need) to reach your goal income level.   The size and scope of your business is your choice; but regardless of whether you want to teach ten to fifteen classes or continue to expand your business, your first months will be filled with marketing calls, demo classes, enrollment sessions, and teaching.
