What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dog Haus's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the grand opening marketing payment is due at two different times. For some Dog Haus locations, $10,000 to $15,000 is due 14 days before opening and 30 days following opening. For other Dog Haus locations, $20,000 to $25,000 is due 30 days before opening and 12-16 weeks following opening. The method of payment is arranged with Dog Haus Approved Suppliers.
It is important to note that Dog Haus will provide a standard grand opening marketing plan at least 60 days before the restaurant opens. The franchisee must then modify the plan as Dog Haus requests, and cannot make any substantial changes without written consent from Dog Haus. The franchisee must also conduct the grand opening plan approved by Dog Haus.
Prospective franchisees should clarify with Dog Haus which payment schedule and grand opening marketing expenditure applies to their specific franchise location, as the FDD indicates different requirements for different locations. Understanding these payment terms and marketing obligations is crucial for budgeting and planning the launch of a Dog Haus franchise.
