What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2024, Hydrodog had 1 company-owned outlet. The FDD provides a table summarizing the systemwide outlet information for 2022 through 2024. In 2024, Hydrodog increased its number of company-owned stores from 0 to 1.
This information is relevant for prospective franchisees as it provides insight into Hydrodog's business model. The fact that Hydrodog operates company-owned stores suggests that the company has experience operating its own franchise and may be more attuned to the challenges faced by franchisees.
However, the limited number of company-owned stores may also indicate that Hydrodog is more focused on franchising as its primary business strategy. Prospective franchisees may want to inquire about the performance of the company-owned store and the level of support provided to franchisees compared to company-owned operations.
