Stretch Zone Ranks on the 2023 Inc. 5000

“It’s an honor to be recognized for our growth by a such a trustworthy and notable publication like Inc.,” said Tony Zaccario, President and CEO of Stretch Zone. “We have always focused on a franchisee-first culture in everything we do, and are dedicated to providing the support and tools needed to drive success at the local level as we continue to grow.”

The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges.

“We are immensely proud to be the only stretching franchise to appear on the list this year, and one of few wellness brands to be recognized,” said Zaccario. “Stretch Zone is fueled by our passion to improve lives, and our commitment to making an impact in the communities we serve has propelled brand growth to the next level. We’re excited to bring our proprietary method and patented strapping system to new communities.”

Founded by Jorden Gold in 2004, Stretch Zone got its start from a desire of wanting to help his Pop-Pop regain mobility. Gold, who was working as a trainer at the time, utilized his background in the wellness space to start stretching his grandfather, who had been bed-ridden due to age and a variety of health complications. He realized through this process that there was room to develop a new approach that amplified the results from stretching.

Gold spent months pioneering a proprietary training method that uses a table and straps to help achieve long lasting effects that truly impact day-to-day life. Pop-Pop went from being bed-ridden, to using his walker, to dancing at his grandchild’s wedding in a matter of months. Gold knew how many lives could benefit from practitioner-assisted stretching and sought to begin introducing the concept to the nation through franchising.
