What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement does not explicitly state that the location for the venue must be "reasonable." However, the document does state that All Dogs Unleashed has the right to approve the site for the Facility. The franchisor also has the right to establish specifications on location selection and the Facility's physical characteristics.
All Dogs Unleashed retains control over location selection and facility specifications, which means franchisees must adhere to the franchisor's guidelines and obtain approval for their chosen site. This process ensures that each location aligns with the brand's standards and operational requirements.
Prospective franchisees should discuss location selection criteria and approval processes with All Dogs Unleashed to fully understand the factors considered during site evaluation. Franchisees should also inquire about the possibility of appealing a rejected site and what recourse they have if they disagree with the franchisor's decision.
