What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Zoomin Groomin Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor has the right to make changes to the approved products and services that franchisees must offer. According to the FDD, Zoomin Groomin may adjust the approved products and services during the term of the agreement or any renewal period. These adjustments can account for competitive changes, technological advancements, legal requirements, or continuous improvement.
Zoomin Groomin will make these adjustments in its sole judgment and communicate them through the franchise's manual. These adjustments to products and services may be optional or required. Zoomin Groomin will provide franchisees with reasonable notice before requiring them to offer new products and services. Franchisees are prohibited from offering or selling any products or performing any services that have not been approved by Zoomin Groomin.
While the FDD excerpt specifies how Zoomin Groomin can modify the products and services franchisees offer, it does not describe the process or conditions under which the Franchise Agreement itself can be modified or amended. A prospective franchisee should ask Zoomin Groomin about the standard procedures for modifying the Franchise Agreement, including what types of modifications are permitted, who can initiate a modification, and what approvals are required.
