About Us
We’re committed to enriching the lives of children in our local community by providing innovative physical activity programs for children of all ages, skills levels and abilities.
- If you’re running a business, children are the best customers. They let you know what they like. And they just as readily let you know what they don’t like. They demand consistent focus and constant innovation but will reward you with well-earned loyalty for a job well done.
- Every entrepreneur wants to build a business with a repeat, loyal customer base. At Star and Stripes, our customer satisfaction manifests itself with laughs and giggles, hugs and high fives and with excited, joyous entrances on their way in and “I don’t want to go” exits from our facility.
- At Stars & Stripes, our children do more than have fun. They gain self-esteem, learn skills, and become healthier. And they do all that without even knowing it. They think they’re just having fun!When children love you, parents love you – for life.
- Provide an environment where children can learn, get stronger and look forward to the time spent and their parents will be grateful for years to come.
Our Franchisees Offer More Than Gymnastics
- Warrior Training
- Special Events
- Camps and Summer Camps
- And much, much more
Besides being one of the hottest new concepts in one of the fastest growing segments of franchising, why else should you join the Stars & Stripes’s team?
Comprehensive Initial Training - Every franchisee attends Stars & Stripes’ start-up training in Clarkston, MI. With 15 years of experience already under our belts, our expert instructors will cover every aspect of owning, running and building a Stars & Stripes business. Executed over weeks, you and your management team will spend hours in the classroom, and even more in the field, with real-world, on the job training.
Stars & Stripes’ Pre-Training Program – Stars & Stripes’ Pre-Training program is designed to immerse you in the set up of your business from Day number one. We’re not content to wait for your trip to Michigan to get you going. Instead, we’ve created a program that guides you through every step, big or small, of your businesses set up and start up. From license and permits to marketing and vendor management, our Pre-Training makes sure that you go from franchise approval to Grand Opening as quickly as possible.
Marketing Assistance – We like to think we’ve learned a thing or two about building a large, loyal following. All of our franchisees are trained in Stars & Stripes’ marketing approaches. We show you what works, and just as importantly, what doesn’t work. We’ll share with you initiatives designed to attract new customers and others geared to making those new customers regulars.
Complete Equipment Package – While teaching our activities is an art, selecting the right equipment is a science. We know exactly what you need in your location and exactly where to get it. We’ve done the research and we know what works. The result is a complete equipment package that supports the operations of your store without inefficiency or excess.
Site Selection and Build-Out Assistance – Selecting the right site is critical to the success of your business. Managing the build-out of your location correctly can impact the success and profitability of your company for years to come. With Stars & Stripes, we help you navigate each step of finding a site and then building that site out.
Distinctive Image and Interior Design – Classic gym with a fresh, modern feel, our interiors combine the best of tradition with a new, vibrant feel that is designed to give patrons the perfect place to play, grow and create memories.
