Must I use All Dogs Unleashed's designated vendors for site selection assistance?

According to the 2025 All Dogs Unleashed FDD, the franchisor has the right to approve the site for the Facility. If the Facility premises will be occupied pursuant to a commercial lease, All Dogs Unleashed has prescribed certain lease terms and has the right to condition its approval of a proposed site on inclusion of the prescribed lease terms.

This means that All Dogs Unleashed maintains control over the location and lease terms of its franchised businesses. A prospective franchisee must obtain approval from All Dogs Unleashed for their chosen site. Furthermore, if the site requires a commercial lease, the franchisee must ensure that the lease includes terms prescribed by the franchisor.

This requirement ensures that all All Dogs Unleashed locations meet the franchisor's standards and protect the brand's image. It also allows All Dogs Unleashed to maintain consistency across all franchise locations, which is a common practice in franchising. A prospective franchisee should carefully review the prescribed lease terms and site selection criteria to ensure they can meet these requirements.
