What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Hydrodog Franchise Disclosure Document, the document does not list the specific mailing address for the Commissioner of Securities in Hawaii. The table provided in Item 23 lists contact information for state regulatory agencies, and agents to receive process, but Hawaii is not among the states listed.
It is common practice for franchise agreements to be registered at the state level, and for the FDD to include contact information for those state authorities. The absence of this information for Hawaii suggests that Hydrodog may not be registered in that state, or that the contact information is provided elsewhere in the FDD.
A prospective Hydrodog franchisee in Hawaii should confirm with Hydrodog's franchise representatives whether registration is required in Hawaii and, if so, request the contact information for the relevant regulatory agency to ensure full compliance with state laws.
