Stretch-n-Grow in Manchester West and Sale is a thriving and profitable business that helps young children get and stay fit through weekly classes incorporating dance, sports and yoga set to music.
Its loyal customers love it for helping children learn about healthy foods and nutrition and how their bodies work, as well as improving their key motor skills and supporting their development.
Delivering its classes through self-employed coaches in private day nurseries’ own settings, its clients keep using it for many years, and there is a huge and unmet demand for its services.
This franchise is only for sale because the owner was bereaved and suffering from ill-health herself so decided to retire.
Her husband’s terminal illness arose just as the business was about to rebuild itself after the pandemic shutdowns, so many of its previous clients are waiting for a chance to use it again, leaving the door wide open for a new owner.
Merely allowing the business to complete its recovery to pre-pandemic levels should bring a substantial increase in profits to the new owner, while the growth opportunities are spectacular, with untapped markets throughout the territory including primary schools, creches, playgroups and children’s centres. And with more than 40% of Year 6 primary school children in the UK either overweight or obese, more and more parents are turning to Stretch-n-Grow to help them develop healthier habits at a younger age.
The owner believes the business would suit a hands-on buyer who’s confident and outgoing, used to working with children, and interested in sports, fitness or theatre.
