What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2024, there were zero company-owned outlets. The provided table, "Systemwide Outlet Summary For Years 2022 to 2024," details the number of franchised and company-owned outlets at the start and end of each year.
Specifically, the table shows that for the 'Company Owned' category, the number of outlets at the start of 2024 was 0, and the number of outlets at the end of 2024 remained at 0. The net change in company-owned outlets during 2024 was also 0. This indicates that Zoomin Groomin did not operate any company-owned outlets during this period.
This information is valuable for potential franchisees as it provides insight into Zoomin Groomin's business model. The company primarily focuses on franchising, with no company-owned locations during the reported period. This may suggest that Zoomin Groomin's revenue is generated through franchise fees and royalties rather than direct operation of outlets. A prospective franchisee might want to inquire about the strategic reasons behind this approach and how it impacts the support and resources available to franchisees.
