What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must reimburse Zoomin Groomin for any third-party charges that Zoomin Groomin incurs on the franchisee's behalf. The amount due is the actual cost of the charges, and payment is due as the charges are incurred.
This means that if Zoomin Groomin pays for something on behalf of the franchisee to a third party, the franchisee is responsible for paying Zoomin Groomin back for the full amount. This could cover a range of expenses, so it's important for a prospective franchisee to understand what types of charges might fall into this category.
It is also important to note that the FDD states that franchisees must also reimburse Zoomin Groomin for sales, excise, or gross receipts tax that Zoomin Groomin pays on any fee related to the Franchise Agreement. These reimbursements are also due as incurred.
