What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document states that franchisees may be required to modify and amend their lease agreement in order to obtain the Franchisor's approval to develop and operate an All Dogs Unleashed facility at a specific location.
According to the FDD, the franchisee may need to modify the lease agreement to ensure that the premises are used only for the operation of the All Dogs Unleashed Facility during the term of the Franchise Agreement. The landlord must consent to the franchisee's use of All Dogs Unleashed's marks, signs, interior and exterior décor, furnishings, fixtures, items, color schemes, plans, specifications, and related components. The landlord must also agree to furnish the franchisor with copies of any and all letters and notices sent to the franchisee pertaining to the lease and the premises at the same time that such letters and notices are sent to the franchisee.
In practical terms, this means that before signing a lease, a prospective All Dogs Unleashed franchisee must ensure that the lease agreement includes terms that protect the franchisor's interests and comply with the All Dogs Unleashed system standards. This may involve working with the landlord to modify the lease agreement to include specific clauses required by All Dogs Unleashed. Franchisees should carefully review the lease agreement with the franchisor and legal counsel to ensure compliance and avoid potential conflicts in the future.
