What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hydrodog has the authority to issue, modify, and supplement the System Standards for your HydroDog Business. These System Standards are defined as the mandatory and suggested specifications, standards, operating procedures, and rules that Hydrodog prescribes for the operation of HydroDog Businesses.

These modifications to the System Standards may include establishing minimum or maximum prices, provided that such pricing regulations are permitted by law. Hydrodog may also periodically modify these standards to accommodate regional or local variations or to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

It is important to note that these modifications could potentially require a franchisee to invest additional capital in their HydroDog Business or incur higher operating costs. However, the FDD states that these modifications will not fundamentally alter the franchisee's status and rights under the Franchise Agreement. As a prospective franchisee, it would be prudent to discuss with Hydrodog the potential scope and financial impact of these modifications to fully understand the obligations and potential costs involved.
