The stretching franchise segment has grown quickly as consumers look for accessible, recovery-focused wellness services. Brands in this category operate either as assisted stretching studios or hybrid wellness concepts, offering recurring-membership revenue models and relatively lean staffing requirements.
To help compare the leading players, we evaluated stretching franchises using a balanced scoring model that weighs five key factors evenly: investment efficiency (revenue relative to investment), profitability, affordability, 3-year franchisee growth, and total network size. Only franchises with disclosed revenue were included in the ranking.
Each franchise is evaluated using a balanced scoring model that weighs five core factors equally. The goal is to highlight brands that combine financial performance, operational maturity, and accessible investment levels. Scores are calculated as follows:
The final score out of 10 is calculated using this weighting model, ensuring the ranking highlights franchises that combine strong unit-level economics with system stability and consistent expansion.
