Can a Zoomin Groomin franchisee use an existing mobile line for telecommunications service?

According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may use an existing mobile line for telecommunications service. Note 9 in Item 7 states that the estimated initial investment includes security deposits and service fees for a mobile telecommunications and mobile internet system. However, if a franchisee already has a mobile line with cellular or other mobile internet service that they plan to use for the Zoomin Groomin business, they will not incur these costs.

This presents a potential cost-saving opportunity for new Zoomin Groomin franchisees. By utilizing an existing mobile line, the franchisee can avoid the additional expense of setting up a new mobile telecommunications system. The estimated cost for mobile telecommunications services ranges from $100 to $400, as detailed in the table in Item 7. This amount covers security deposits and service fees.

It is important for prospective franchisees to verify with Zoomin Groomin whether their existing mobile line meets the required specifications for the business. The FDD does not specify the requirements for the mobile telecommunications service, so franchisees should confirm that their current service is adequate to avoid any issues after starting operations. If the existing line does not meet Zoomin Groomin's requirements, the franchisee will need to factor in the cost of a new mobile telecommunications system.
