What stretch-n-grow does

Stretch-n-Grow International is a privately held children's fitness and enrichment franchise company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Seminole, Florida. The company develops and licenses a proprietary curriculum — branded the "EXERciting" framework — covering ten named programs (All-Star Gymnastics, All-Star Soccer, All-Star Sports, Camp Fit, Dance Stars, Field Day, Fitness Stars, Kids Dance Party, Music Stars, and Yoga Stars) for children ages 18 months to 12 years, delivered as in-house enrichment at schools, preschools, and childcare centers by certified instructors. Underlying "technology" is content-based rather than software-based: curricula consist of downloadable lesson plans, Spotify playlists, instructional videos, and required instructor certifications (e.g., $30 Gymnastics Certification, two-year Yoga Stars Certification), distributed through the SNG Store e-commerce platform and an SNGtv digital content channel.

The business model is a classic franchise: entrepreneurs purchase territory rights, pay initial franchise fees and ongoing royalties, and operate either a Center-Paid model (school contracts monthly for participating children) or a Parent-Paid model (parents enroll and pay monthly per child per program). Additional revenue streams include curriculum package sales ($100-$300 per bundle), certification program sales, and merchandise through the SNG Store. The company claims a worldwide network of certified professionals, is a member of the International Franchise Association, and in May 2026 announced a strategic partnership with BrandONE to accelerate franchise growth. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, revenue, or headcount.
