Allen, TX – April 9, 2025 – Special Strong, the nation’s leading fitness franchise for children and adults with special needs, is proud to announce the relocation of its corporate headquarters from McKinney to Allen, Texas. This move comes as a direct result of unprecedented growth and the need to support an expanding team and franchise network.
To meet the demands of this momentum, Special Strong has added four new leadership team members and plans to hire a fifth. These strategic hires will support the company’s expanding operations as Special Strong aims to establish a location in every major metro area by the end of 2026.
“Our growth has been fueled by a combination of factors,” said Daniel Stein, Founder and CEO of Special Strong. “From new SBA Express lending opportunities and our franchise growth program launched in early 2024, to increasing brand recognition in the special needs community, we’re seeing massive traction across the country.”
Special Strong continues to stand out as a recession-proof franchise model, with low startup costs, minimal overhead, and essential services that are seen as a necessity rather than a luxury. These attributes make it one of the most affordable and sustainable franchise opportunities in today’s market.
“When I meet with franchise candidates, the question of timing always comes up,” Stein added. “Here’s the truth: there is no perfect time to start a business. We launched our franchise at the peak of COVID. Entrepreneurs don’t wait. The best time to start is always now. Waiting for the perfect moment is the fastest way to never move forward.”
With strong infrastructure, a mission-driven model, and growing demand, Special Strong is inviting purpose-driven entrepreneurs to explore an opportunity that changes lives and builds a future-proof.
