What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees have the option to expand their business by purchasing additional territories. The fee for each additional territory is $15,000, as stated in Item 5. Each additional territory can have a population of up to 50,000 people.
Hydrodog does not prorate the additional territory fee, meaning the franchisee will pay the full $15,000 regardless of whether the territory's population is less than 50,000. This policy ensures that Hydrodog receives a consistent fee for each territory, simplifying the financial structure for territory expansion.
The additional territory fee is due in a lump sum when the franchisee signs the agreement for the additional territory. This fee is considered fully earned and is non-refundable upon payment. This means that once the payment is made, the franchisee cannot get a refund, even if they later decide not to develop the additional territory. This is a common practice in franchising, as the fee compensates Hydrodog for granting the rights to that specific territory and foregoing the opportunity to sell it to someone else.
