What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Zoomin Groomin Franchise Disclosure Document, the Approved Products and Services that franchisees must offer may change during the term of the Franchise Agreement or any renewal. These adjustments can occur to accommodate competitive changes, technological advancements, legal requirements, or for continuous improvement.
Zoomin Groomin has the sole discretion to make these adjustments, which will be communicated through their manual. These changes to products and services may be optional or required. Zoomin Groomin will provide franchisees with reasonable notice before requiring them to offer new products and services. Franchisees are prohibited from offering or selling any products or performing any services that have not been approved by Zoomin Groomin.
This clause gives Zoomin Groomin significant flexibility to adapt the franchise system. It also means that franchisees must be prepared to invest in new equipment, training, or marketing to keep up with any required changes. While Zoomin Groomin commits to providing reasonable notice, the final decision on product and service offerings rests solely with them, which is a fairly standard practice in franchising to maintain brand consistency and competitiveness.
