This suburban Chicago studio is joining a roster of six existing locations in Illinois, two of which are led by Waqas Abbasi — the franchisee spearheading the Algonquin location. Situated at 1628 S. Randall Road, the studio will provide local community members with its proprietary, practitioner-assisted stretching sessions to help enhance their quality of life.
“Opening 200 locations is a major feat for Stretch Zone, but not one that wasn’t achieved without a strong network of franchisees, dedicated corporate team and a proven stretching methodology,” said Tony Zaccario, CEO of Stretch Zone. “Our footprint is growing in the Midwest and we are eager to have the Algonquin community come into Waqas’ studio so they can start experiencing the benefits of stretching.”
