What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, Non-Public Access Venues are locations not generally accessible to the public. These venues can include private businesses, military bases, government institutions, and private clubs. All Dogs Unleashed retains the right to develop, operate, and license facilities in these Non-Public Access Venues, even within a franchisee's Development Area. This means that All Dogs Unleashed could potentially establish a training facility on a military base within an existing franchisee's territory.
For a prospective franchisee, this clause has significant implications. While franchisees typically receive a defined Development Area, this protection does not extend to Non-Public Access Venues. This could lead to competition within their territory from facilities that All Dogs Unleashed owns or licenses to others. Franchisees should carefully consider the potential impact of these venues on their business, especially if their territory includes or is near such locations.
It is important for potential franchisees to discuss with All Dogs Unleashed the company's plans for developing Non-Public Access Venues in their target area. Understanding the potential for such facilities can help franchisees assess the true market potential and competitive landscape. Franchisees should also inquire about any support or resources All Dogs Unleashed provides to help them compete effectively in areas where Non-Public Access Venues exist.
