What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Facility' refers to the physical location from which a franchisee operates their All Dogs Unleashed dog-training business. The franchisor, ADU Franchise Limited Liability Company, franchises the operation of this dog-training business under the All Dogs Unleashed name.
The Franchise Agreement grants the franchisee the right to establish and operate a Facility at an approved location. This Facility is where the franchisee provides canine training, boarding, grooming, and other authorized services. The franchisee must adhere to All Dogs Unleashed's standards and use the System and Marks in connection with advertising, promotion, and operation of the business.
The franchisor retains rights regarding the Facility, including the right to approve the site and prescribe lease terms if the premises are leased. The franchisee is obligated to use the premises only for the operation of the All Dogs Unleashed Facility during the term of the Franchise Agreement. The franchisor also has the right to conduct quality assurance inspections of the Facility and monitor operations, even remotely using video surveillance equipment.
