Does Zoomin Groomin grant franchisees options or rights of first refusal for additional franchises?

According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Zoomin Groomin does not grant franchisees options, rights of first refusal, or similar rights to acquire additional franchises. This means that if a franchisee is interested in opening additional Zoomin Groomin locations, the franchisee will not have any special priority or advantage over other potential franchisees in acquiring those locations.

This policy is important for prospective franchisees to understand, as it impacts their ability to expand their business within the Zoomin Groomin system. While franchisees may desire to grow by acquiring additional territories, Zoomin Groomin retains the discretion to award those territories to whomever they deem fit. This could create competition among existing franchisees for new territories.

In the absence of a right of first refusal, a Zoomin Groomin franchisee will need to actively monitor available territories and proactively pursue opportunities for expansion. Building a strong relationship with the franchisor and demonstrating successful operation of their existing franchise may improve their chances of being awarded additional franchises, but it does not guarantee it.
