What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hydrodog may consider the length of time a Hydrodog Business has been open when deciding whether to approve a transfer. In addition to evaluating the proposed transferee's qualifications and other factors Hydrodog deems relevant, Hydrodog may also consider how long the business has been operating.
Hydrodog will assess whether transferring the location at the current time is in the best interest of the Hydrodog system. This implies that Hydrodog aims to ensure that transfers occur at times that will not disrupt the brand's reputation or the overall network's performance.
For a potential franchisee, this means that the timing of a transfer request could impact its approval. A Hydrodog business that has been open for a longer period and has a proven track record might be viewed more favorably for a transfer than a newer business. Franchisees looking to transfer their business should be aware that Hydrodog has the discretion to evaluate the timing of the transfer in relation to the overall health and stability of the franchise system.
