What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for leasehold improvements ranges from $362,000 to $560,000. These costs are paid as arranged before opening to contractors and suppliers.
The FDD notes that construction costs can vary significantly based on the location, design, configuration, and condition of the premises. The lower end of the estimate ($362,000) assumes the build-out of a second-generation space with a minimum of 4,000 square feet that already has a sufficient HVAC system and appropriate utility service and hook-ups. The higher estimate ($560,000) is for building out a "vanilla box" space, which includes adding or upgrading the HVAC system, installing restrooms, constructing a fence, and installing turf. The estimates include the costs of construction and building permits.
Prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisees should investigate potential real estate locations and costs carefully, as these expenses can substantially impact the initial investment. The FDD indicates that franchisees may be eligible for a tenant improvement allowance from landlords, which could reduce the net cost of leasehold improvements. However, there is no guarantee that such an allowance will be available. Franchisees should also consider that these costs may vary depending on the availability of providers, market competition, and their credit history.
