What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has the option to renew their franchise agreement for two additional 5-year terms, provided they meet certain conditions. The initial franchise term for All Dogs Unleashed is 10 years, according to Section 2.1 of the franchise agreement.
To renew, the All Dogs Unleashed franchisee must provide notice of their intent to renew. They must also be in compliance with the existing franchise agreement and satisfy all outstanding financial obligations to All Dogs Unleashed. This means the franchisee must have adhered to the brand standards and paid all required fees and royalties.
Additionally, the franchisee is required to renovate and refurbish the facility to meet current brand standards. They must also demonstrate that they have the right to remain in possession of the facility premises, comply with All Dogs Unleashed's then-current qualifications and training requirements, and release All Dogs Unleashed and require their owners to release All Dogs Unleashed from all prior claims. Finally, the franchisee must sign a successor franchise agreement and pay a renewal fee. The new franchise agreement may contain materially different terms and conditions than the original agreement.
