What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must notify Zoomin Groomin in writing at least 90 days before the expiration of their current franchise agreement if they wish to renew it. This notification is a prerequisite for continuing operations as a franchisee for an additional term.
In addition to providing written notice, the franchisee must also sign a new Franchise Agreement and provide a general release of claims. While the franchisee may need to pay a renewal fee, the 2025 FDD states that there is currently no renewal fee. The terms and conditions of the new Franchise Agreement will not be materially different from the original contract.
It is important for prospective Zoomin Groomin franchisees to understand these renewal requirements and deadlines to ensure they do not miss the opportunity to extend their franchise agreement if they wish to continue operating their business. Franchisees should mark their calendars and consult their franchise agreement to confirm the exact expiration date and renewal procedures.
