What was the total net change in the number of Zoomin Groomin outlets (franchised and company-owned) during 2024?

According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total net change in the number of systemwide outlets during 2024 was +99. This figure accounts for both franchised and company-owned Zoomin Groomin vehicles. Specifically, the number of franchised outlets increased by 99, while the number of company-owned outlets remained unchanged.

For a prospective franchisee, this indicates a significant expansion of the Zoomin Groomin system during 2024. The substantial increase in franchised outlets suggests a growing demand for Zoomin Groomin's services and a successful franchise model. However, it's important to note that past performance is not indicative of future results, and potential franchisees should conduct their own due diligence to assess the viability of the franchise opportunity.

The FDD data shows that the number of franchised Zoomin Groomin outlets increased from 70 at the start of 2024 to 169 by the end of the year. The number of company-owned outlets remained at 0 throughout 2024. This information is valuable for prospective franchisees as it provides a snapshot of the brand's growth trajectory and its reliance on the franchise model for expansion. Franchisees should investigate the reasons behind this growth and assess whether it is sustainable.

It is also important to note that while the total number of outlets increased, there were also some terminations and ceased operations during the year. Specifically, there was 1 termination and 6 ceased operations for other reasons. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the reasons for these closures to understand the challenges and risks associated with operating a Zoomin Groomin franchise.
