What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 169 total outlets operating at the end of 2024. These outlets are defined as Zoomin Groomin Vehicles. This number reflects a net increase of 99 outlets during the year, starting from 70 outlets at the beginning of 2024.
It is important to note that while 169 outlets operated at some point during 2024, only 66 of these operated for the entire calendar year. The FDD excludes financial performance data from vehicles that were transferred, did not operate for the full year, opened mid-year, closed mid-year, or were temporarily closed. This exclusion suggests that the financial performance representations provided may not be representative of all outlets in the system.
A prospective franchisee should consider that the number of operating outlets can fluctuate due to openings, closures, and other factors. The growth in outlet numbers from 2022 to 2024 indicates a rapid expansion of the Zoomin Groomin system. However, the fact that a significant portion of outlets did not operate for the full year in 2024 could be due to various reasons, such as new franchisees starting their operations or existing franchisees exiting the system.
Therefore, when evaluating the financial performance data, a potential franchisee should be aware that the figures may be based on a subset of outlets that operated for the full year and that individual results may vary. Further investigation into the reasons for outlets not operating for the full year could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the franchise system's stability and performance.
