If I relocate my Canine Dimensions Franchised Business, will my territorial boundaries change?

According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you relocate your franchised business, your territorial boundaries will not change. However, you must obtain Canine Dimensions's consent to relocate, which they will not unreasonably withhold. Additionally, the new location must be within your protected territory. An exception exists if you move your home outside your protected territory, in which case Canine Dimensions may require you to rent space within the protected territory to operate the franchised business.

This means that as a Canine Dimensions franchisee, you have some flexibility in choosing the specific location of your business within your protected territory. However, you cannot move outside of your territory without potentially needing to secure a separate business location within the original territory. This ensures that Canine Dimensions can maintain the territorial exclusivity granted to other franchisees.

In the franchise industry, territorial rights are a crucial aspect of the franchise agreement. Franchisees typically pay for the exclusive right to operate within a defined area, and franchisors must carefully manage these boundaries to avoid conflicts between franchisees. Canine Dimensions's policy on relocation and territorial boundaries appears to be in line with common practices, aiming to balance franchisee flexibility with the need to protect territorial rights.
