What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may obtain a second or subsequent vehicle if they believe in their sole judgment that the territory can support more than one vehicle. The franchisee can obtain the additional vehicle at any point during the term of the franchise agreement.
Zoomin Groomin requires that franchisees purchase at least one mobile pet grooming vehicle from an approved vendor that meets the franchisor's specifications and complies with state OSHA requirements. The franchisee must use this vehicle for the operation of the franchised business and keep it in normal operating condition as specified in the manual.
This policy provides flexibility for Zoomin Groomin franchisees who experience high demand in their territory. However, franchisees should carefully consider the costs associated with purchasing and operating a second vehicle, including insurance, maintenance, and staffing, before making a decision. It is also important to ensure that the territory can indeed support the additional vehicle to avoid over saturating the market and reducing profitability.
