Premier Assisted Stretching Franchise Opens Newest Location Under Local Leadership
BILOXI, Miss., Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Stretch Zone, the nation’s premier assisted stretching brand with a patented strapping system on proprietary tables, announces the opening of its newest location in Biloxi, Mississippi. This location is Stretch Zone’s 383rd in the United States and is owned and operated by Barry Gentry and Stephanie Shaw, multi-unit Stretch Zone owners.
Like many other Stretch Zone members, Barry Gentry felt that something was missing in his daily routine. Seeking relief, he often sought massage and chiropractic services but still felt that they were missing the mark. After visiting a local studio and experiencing life-changing results following his free consultation stretch, he called his wife Stephanie to share his experience and felt ready to buy a studio right then and there. Inspired by the immediate impact, Gentry pursued practitioner-assisted stretching as his new business venture, and entered the market with Stretch Zone Ocean Springs, his first studio in the Mississippi area. With his first Stretch Zone studio he recognized the power stretching could add to his community. Helping residents achieve enhanced flexibility, improved posture, and increased range of motion, Gentry decided to continue the spread of empowered mobility to the Biloxi area and is confident that this new studio will contribute to Stretch Zone’s reputation as a trusted destination for personalized stretching services.
‘Hearing what people say when they get off the stretch table for the first time is always an exciting experience, and I am overjoyed to bring that experience to many more,’ says Barry. Throughout his journey Barry was diagnosed with cancer and through his treatment, remained dedicated to serving his community and connecting with his members. Finding solace and support through his studio, he was motivated to extend his network as soon as he recovered from his illness. Barry and Stephanie are ready to make a splash in Biloxi, MS, with a team of certified practitioners, ready and eager to bring mobility to the community. Establishing grassroots efforts that will expand the Stretch Zone footprint with a hint of southern flair, he plans to continue sharing the unique benefits of assisted stretching with as many people as possible in this prime location.
Stretch Zone is the only nationally accredited stretch franchise due in large part to its patented equipment and proprietary training and education methodology. Stretch Zone focuses on a scientific approach to stretching and believes in re-educating muscles to establish an ideal resting muscle tone and range of motion.
Stretch Zone Biloxi is located at 2374 Pass Road, Biloxi, MS, 39531. Operating hours are Monday-Saturday 8am-7pm, and Sunday 12pm-4pm and the studio phone number is (228) 396-1005. The first visit is free for any new Stretch Zone members. For more information, visit www.stretchzone.com.
