What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are permitted to acquire a successor franchise for one 5-year term. This is contingent upon meeting the requirements outlined in Section 2.2 of the Franchise Agreement.
To renew their franchise agreement with Canine Dimensions, franchisees must provide advance written notice and be in good standing with the company. They are also required to sign a new Franchise Agreement and a release, pay a renewal fee, and meet Canine Dimensions's then-current requirements for franchisees.
It is important to note that the new Franchise Agreement that a franchisee signs upon renewal may contain materially different terms and conditions than their original contract. However, the boundaries of the franchisee's Protected Territory will remain the same, and the fees for obtaining a successor franchise will not be greater than the fees that Canine Dimensions then imposes on similarly situated renewing franchisees. This single renewal term is fairly typical in the franchise industry, although the specific length of the renewal term and the conditions for renewal can vary from brand to brand.
