Under what condition can a Zoomin Groomin franchisee operate outside their territory?

According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, all franchisees have the possibility of operating outside of their designated territory under a specific condition. Zoomin Groomin franchisees can operate outside their territory if they obtain permission and the territory they wish to operate in is not already owned by another franchisee.

This policy could allow a Zoomin Groomin franchisee to expand their business reach and potentially increase revenue by serving customers in adjacent, unowned territories. However, it's important to note that permission from Zoomin Groomin is required, so franchisees cannot simply expand wherever they choose.

This condition protects existing franchisees by preventing encroachment into their exclusive territories, which is a common practice in franchising. Prospective franchisees should inquire about the process for requesting permission to operate outside their territory and the criteria Zoomin Groomin uses to evaluate such requests.
