## Story

The practitioner-assisted stretching franchise announced today it is soon opening its 200th location, a milestone for the brand and the health and wellness space.

Coined the Road to 200, Stretch Zone will be celebrating its 200th studio milestone on June 27 with coast-to-coast festivities, which will be captured on Instagram. There will be four locations opening on one single day, starting with St. Pete, Florida in the morning; Chicago, Illinois and Dallas, Texas in the afternoon; and Anchorage, Alaska in the evening. To wrap up the day, the corporate team and the entire franchise system will come together to commemorate the achievement virtually.

“Having 200 open studios is historic for the brand We know we’re positioning our locations to serve their communities in the best way they can, and that’s the biggest reward,” said Tony Zaccario, the president and CEO of Stretch Zone. “It’s a great feeling to know what we’re doing is changing people’s lives, and that we can also continue to help more people understand the benefits of stretching and increase the livelihood of more clients.”

Another notch in Stretch Zone’s belt is its partnership with Drew Brees, who joined the brand in 2021 and serves as a current Board of Directors member. Additionally, Brees has signed on to open 20 stores and has already opened nine.
