Does Hydrodog provide any assurance that a franchisee will achieve similar sales or earnings as other outlets?

According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hydrodog does not provide any assurance that a franchisee will achieve similar sales or earnings as other outlets. The FDD states explicitly, "There is no assurance that you'll sell or earn as much." This means that while some Hydrodog outlets may achieve a certain level of sales, a new franchisee should not assume they will automatically reach the same level. Individual results can vary significantly.

The 2025 FDD includes financial performance representations based on data reported by 15 of the 20 franchisee-owned Hydrodog businesses that were open and operating from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. The average gross sales for these locations was $144,119.42, with a high of $361,267.50 and a low of $61,735. The median gross sales was $102,696. Only 27% of these Hydrodog businesses achieved or exceeded the average gross sales.

This data highlights the variability in performance among different Hydrodog franchises. Factors such as location, management skills, local market conditions, and competition can all influence a franchisee's success. The FDD emphasizes that individual results may differ and that there is no guarantee of achieving similar sales or earnings.

Prospective Hydrodog franchisees should conduct their own independent investigation and consult with financial advisors and legal counsel before making any investment decisions. They should not rely solely on the financial performance representations provided in the FDD, but rather perform thorough due diligence to assess the potential risks and rewards of investing in a Hydrodog franchise.
