What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Facility' refers to the franchised location where the franchisee operates their All Dogs Unleashed business. This business provides dog training, daycare, boarding, and grooming services. The franchisor, ADU Franchise Limited Liability Company, grants the franchisee the right to establish and operate this Facility at an approved location.
The Facility operates under the All Dogs Unleashed system, utilizing the franchisor's trademarks, service marks, and operational methods. The franchisor also sets specifications for various aspects of the system, including the Facility's physical characteristics and operating procedures. The franchisee must adhere to these specifications, which the franchisor may modify over time.
The Franchise Agreement specifies that the premises of the Facility will be used solely for the operation of the All Dogs Unleashed business. The landlord consents to the franchisee's use of the franchisor's marks, signs, décor, and other elements of the All Dogs Unleashed system. This definition of 'Facility' is crucial in understanding the scope and limitations of the franchise agreement, particularly concerning the franchisee's rights and obligations regarding the operation of their All Dogs Unleashed business.
