What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the requirements for a franchisee to renew or extend their franchise term are detailed in Section 1.2.B of the Franchise Agreement. To renew, a franchisee must be in compliance with the Franchise Agreement.
The renewal process involves notifying Zoomin Groomin in writing at least 90 days before the expiration of the current term. Additionally, the franchisee must sign a new Franchise Agreement, which includes a general release of claims.
While there may be a renewal fee, the FDD states that currently there is no renewal fee. The new Franchise Agreement will not contain materially different terms and conditions from the original contract. However, these renewal requirements are subject to applicable state law, so franchisees should be aware of any local regulations that may affect the renewal process.
