TERRITORY
The Territory will be for a specific geographic region that we define by zip codes, natural, or political boundaries as set forth on Schedule 1 to the Franchise Agreement. A territory will have a minimum population of approximately 125,000 residents, as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau or mapping software that we feel is reliable. You must operate at least one (1) Vehicle in your Territory, but you may operate more if you desire to do so.
We do not grant you options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional franchises. You will receive an exclusive territory, meaning a geographic area within which we will not establish either a company-owned or franchised outlet selling the same or similar goods or services under the same or similar trademarks or service marks.
You may only operate your Outlet (the Vehicle) within your Territory. We may approve relocation of your Franchised Business if we feel that conditions have changed such that a relocation represents a sound business decision.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific geographic region that defines a franchisee's territory is detailed in Schedule 1 of the Franchise Agreement. This territory is defined using zip codes, natural boundaries, or political boundaries.
Zoomin Groomin grants franchisees an exclusive territory, meaning the company will not establish another company-owned or franchised outlet selling similar goods or services under the same trademarks within that geographic area. Each territory will have a minimum population of approximately 125,000 residents, based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau or reliable mapping software. Franchisees are restricted to operating their mobile grooming vehicle within their assigned territory.
While franchisees are generally restricted from accepting orders from consumers outside their territory, Zoomin Groomin may grant permission to operate in undeveloped neighboring territories. However, this permission can be revoked at any time, and the franchisee must cease services to clients in that area if a new franchisee purchases the territory. Franchisees are also required to provide a list of customers previously served in the newly franchised territory to the new franchisee.
