What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hydrodog's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Hydrodog reserves the right to designate maximum or minimum retail prices for products and services franchisees offer. Hydrodog will provide franchisees with reasonable notice of any changes to these prices.
Hydrodog may also offer guidance on selling prices, but franchisees are free to set their own prices within the maximum or minimum range designated by Hydrodog. However, Hydrodog makes no guarantees that following their recommended pricing will enhance sales or profits.
This policy allows Hydrodog to maintain some control over pricing to ensure brand consistency and competitiveness, while still giving franchisees flexibility to adjust to local market conditions. Prospective franchisees should consider how this pricing structure might affect their potential profitability and ability to compete in their specific market.
