What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, the lease for a franchised facility is modified and amended to obtain the Franchisor's approval. This approval is essential because All Dogs Unleashed retains the right to approve the site for the facility. If the premises are to be leased, the franchisor prescribes specific lease terms, and site approval is conditional upon including these terms in the lease.
This process ensures that the location and lease terms align with the franchisor's standards and requirements. The lease modification also confirms that the premises will be used solely for operating the All Dogs Unleashed facility during the franchise agreement term. Additionally, the landlord consents to the franchisee's use of All Dogs Unleashed's trademarks, signs, décor, and other elements of the All Dogs Unleashed system.
Furthermore, the landlord agrees to provide All Dogs Unleashed with copies of any notices sent to the franchisee regarding the lease and premises. This stipulation allows All Dogs Unleashed to stay informed about the lease's status and any potential issues, ensuring that the franchisee operates in a location that meets the franchisor's standards and protects the brand's integrity. This arrangement is typical in franchising, where franchisors maintain control over site selection and lease terms to ensure consistency and protect their brand.
