What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the requirements for renewing a franchise agreement are subject to applicable state law. To renew the franchise agreement, a franchisee must notify Zoomin Groomin in writing at least 90 days before the expiration of the current term, sign a new franchise agreement along with a general release of claims, and pay a renewal fee, if any. Currently, there is no renewal fee. The new franchise agreement will not contain materially different terms and conditions than the original contract.

This means that certain state laws may impact the specific procedures or conditions for renewal. For example, a state law might dictate a different notification period or impose specific requirements regarding the terms of the renewal agreement.

Prospective Zoomin Groomin franchisees should be aware of the laws in their specific state regarding franchise renewals, as these laws could provide additional rights or impose additional obligations beyond what is outlined in the franchise agreement. It would be prudent to consult with a franchise attorney to understand the specific state laws that may apply to the renewal process.
