There are no trademark-specific franchisee organizations associated with the Franchise System which are incorporated or otherwise organized under state law and have asked us to be included in our Disclosure Document during the next fiscal year.
During the last three fiscal years, in some instances, current and former franchisees sign provisions restricting their ability to speak openly about their experience with the Zoomin Groomin franchise system. You may wish to speak with current and former franchisees, but be aware that not all such franchisees will be able to communicate with you.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there are no trademark-specific franchisee organizations associated with the Zoomin Groomin Franchise System that are incorporated or organized under state law and have requested to be included in the Disclosure Document during the next fiscal year.
This means that as of the FDD publication, Zoomin Groomin franchisees have not formed any independent, trademark-specific organizations with the intention of being formally recognized in the company's disclosure documents. Franchisee organizations can serve as a collective voice for franchisees, advocating for their interests and providing a platform for communication and support.
The absence of such an organization does not necessarily indicate a negative relationship between Zoomin Groomin and its franchisees. However, prospective franchisees may want to inquire about the level of communication and collaboration between Zoomin Groomin and its franchisees, as well as any informal networks or channels that exist for franchisees to share information and address concerns. It's also worth noting that the FDD mentions that during the last three fiscal years, some current and former franchisees have signed provisions restricting their ability to speak openly about their experience with the Zoomin Groomin franchise system, which could impact communication among franchisees.
