What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Advertising Cooperative fee is due as determined by the applicable Cooperative. Currently, All Dogs Unleashed does not have any Advertising Cooperatives. However, All Dogs Unleashed may designate any area with two or more Facilities as a region for an Advertising Cooperative and require franchisees to participate.
The amount of the Advertising Cooperative fee will be determined by a majority vote, with each participating Facility and All Dogs Unleashed receiving one vote. This means that the franchisees in the cooperative, along with All Dogs Unleashed, will collectively decide on the advertising fee structure and amounts.
For a prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisee, this means that while there is no current advertising cooperative fee, one may be established in the future if there are two or more facilities in the area. The franchisee should be prepared to potentially pay this fee and participate in the voting process to determine the fee amount. It is important to note that the fee is not unilaterally set by All Dogs Unleashed but is subject to a majority vote among the participating members.
