What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the lease deposit and first month's rent are due 'as incurred' to the landlord. This expense is estimated to range from $3,000 to $15,000. This payment is a lump sum.
For a prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisee, this means that you will need to pay the lease deposit and first month's rent sometime before opening your franchise location. The exact timing will depend on your lease agreement with the landlord. It is important to budget for this expense, as it can be a significant upfront cost.
It's worth noting that the FDD provides an estimated range for this expense, but the actual amount may vary depending on the specific location and lease terms. Franchisees should conduct thorough due diligence and negotiate favorable lease terms to minimize this cost. Additionally, the FDD recommends investigating real estate availability and costs before purchasing a franchise, as rental rates can vary widely depending on geographic region, size, and property type and condition.
