Does All Dogs Unleashed have the right to develop facilities in Non-Public Access Venues?

According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, All Dogs Unleashed retains the right to develop, open, and operate facilities, or to license others to do so, in Non-Public Access Venues. These venues include private businesses, military bases, government institutions, private clubs, and other facilities not generally accessible to the public. This right extends to locations within a franchisee's Development Area.

This provision means that even if a franchisee has secured a specific territory for development, All Dogs Unleashed can still establish locations within that territory in venues not open to the general public. This could potentially lead to competition within the franchisee's area, although the nature of these venues might limit the direct impact on the franchisee's business.

For a prospective franchisee, this clause highlights the importance of understanding the specific demographics and potential client base within their Development Area. While the franchisee focuses on public-facing operations, All Dogs Unleashed can tap into niche markets within the same area through these Non-Public Access Venues. It is important to note that the definition of "Non-Public Access Venues" is broad, and a prospective franchisee should seek clarification from All Dogs Unleashed on what specific types of locations fall under this definition to fully understand the potential impact on their business.
