What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Canine Dimensions's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is permitted to acquire a successor franchise for one 5-year term if they meet the requirements listed in Section 2.2 of the Franchise Agreement. To renew, the franchisee must provide Canine Dimensions with advance written notice, be in good standing, sign a new Franchise Agreement and a release, pay a renewal fee, and meet Canine Dimensions's then-current requirements for franchisees.
While the new Franchise Agreement may contain materially different terms and conditions than the original contract, the boundaries of the Protected Territory will remain the same. The fees for obtaining a successor franchise will not be greater than the fees that Canine Dimensions then imposes on similarly situated renewing franchisees.
It is important for prospective franchisees to carefully review Section 2.2 of the Franchise Agreement to fully understand all the specific requirements and conditions for obtaining a successor franchise. This includes understanding what constitutes "good standing" and the potential for changes in the terms of the new franchise agreement. Franchisees should also inquire about the typical renewal fees charged to ensure they are prepared for this expense.
