What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must maintain one Hydrodog Vehicle for every 100,000 in population, or fraction thereof, within their territory. If the population increases and requires additional vehicles, the franchisee has a specific timeframe to comply.
The FDD states that a franchisee must add any required additional Hydrodog Vehicle within 6 months after commencing operations or within 6 months of any population increase that triggers the requirement for an additional vehicle. This means that if a franchisee's territory experiences population growth that necessitates another vehicle, they have a 6-month window from the date of the population increase to acquire and put into service the additional vehicle.
Failure to meet this deadline constitutes a default under the Franchise Agreement. This highlights the importance of monitoring population trends within the territory and proactively planning for vehicle acquisition to avoid breaching the agreement. Franchisees should factor in the time needed to lease or purchase, outfit, and wrap the Hydrodog Vehicle when considering this 6-month deadline.
