What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were a total of 3 Hydrodog outlets opened in 2023. These openings occurred within a system that started the year with 19 franchised outlets and ended with 18. This indicates a net decrease of 1 franchised outlet during that year.
Breaking down the openings by state, Arizona saw 1 new Hydrodog location open in 2023. Nebraska also had 1 new outlet open. Virginia added 1 new location as well.
Overall, while there were some new Hydrodog locations added, closures in other states resulted in a slight contraction of the franchise system in 2023. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the reasons for closures and the overall health and growth strategy of the Hydrodog franchise system.
