What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can renew their right to operate the franchised facility for two additional 5-year terms if they are in good standing and meet specific conditions. These conditions include providing notice of intent to renew, complying with the franchise agreement, satisfying outstanding financial obligations to All Dogs Unleashed, renovating and refurbishing the facility, and demonstrating the right to remain in possession of the premises.
Additional requirements for renewal involve complying with All Dogs Unleashed's then-current qualifications and training requirements, releasing All Dogs Unleashed and requiring the franchisee's owners to release All Dogs Unleashed from all prior claims, signing a successor franchise agreement, and paying a renewal fee. The successor franchise agreement may contain materially different terms and conditions than the original agreement.
Therefore, there are no explicitly stated exceptions to these renewal requirements. All listed conditions must be met for a franchisee to be eligible for renewal. This means that all franchisees seeking to renew their All Dogs Unleashed franchise must satisfy these obligations, without exception, to continue operating under the brand for additional terms.
