Is the Dog Haus franchise agreement otherwise renewable besides the Renewal Right?

According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement is generally not renewable except through the specific Renewal Right outlined in the agreement. The document explicitly states, "This Agreement is not otherwise renewable."

This means that a Dog Haus franchisee can only extend their franchise term if they meet specific conditions and follow the procedures for exercising the Renewal Right. These conditions include being in good standing, completing required remodeling, avoiding defaults, meeting current qualifications, executing a general release and personal guarantee, paying a renewal fee, and signing the then-current franchise agreement.

If a franchisee fails to meet these conditions or does not exercise their Renewal Right, the franchise agreement will expire on the expiration date, and the franchisee will no longer have the right to operate a Dog Haus restaurant. This provision underscores the importance of franchisees maintaining compliance with the franchise agreement and proactively planning for renewal well in advance of the expiration date.
