What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor's approval of the business location is required. Canine Dimensions anticipates that franchisees will operate their businesses from their homes, which will be designated as the "Approved Location."
Canine Dimensions must approve this location, and the home's location will typically be entered on the Franchise Agreement as the "Approved Location" at the time of signing. This indicates that franchisees do not have complete autonomy in choosing their business location, as it is subject to the franchisor's consent.
This requirement ensures that the location meets Canine Dimensions' standards and is suitable for operating the franchised business. For a prospective franchisee, this means they need to ensure their home meets the franchisor's criteria and obtain approval before finalizing the Franchise Agreement. This is a standard practice in franchising, as the location can significantly impact the success and brand image of the franchise.
