Under the All Dogs Unleashed Area Development Agreement, when does the franchise term end?

According to All Dogs Unleashed's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the length of the franchise term under the Area Development Agreement (ADA) commences on the date the ADA is signed. The term concludes on either of two dates: (a) the date the final facility required to be developed under the ADA has opened, or (b) the Opening Deadline for the last facility required to be opened under the ADA.

This means that the Area Development Agreement's term is tied to the franchisee's development obligations. The agreement does not run for a fixed number of years. Instead, its duration depends on how quickly the franchisee meets the development schedule outlined in the ADA. If a franchisee opens all required facilities before the final deadline, the agreement ends when the last facility opens. If the franchisee does not open all facilities, the agreement ends on the opening deadline for the last facility.

It is important to note that the ADA is not subject to renewal or extension. This means that once the agreement ends, the franchisee does not have an automatic right to continue developing All Dogs Unleashed locations in the designated area. If the franchisee wishes to continue developing locations, they would need to negotiate a new agreement with All Dogs Unleashed.

Prospective franchisees should carefully consider the development schedule and opening deadlines outlined in the ADA to understand the potential duration of the agreement. They should also be aware that the agreement is not renewable, and that continued development rights would require a new agreement.
