Under what conditions can a Zoomin Groomin franchisee renew their franchise term?

According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may be able to renew their franchise agreement upon completion of the initial term or a renewal term. To be eligible for renewal, the franchisee must be in compliance with the existing agreement and meet all other conditions for renewal set forth by Zoomin Groomin. The new contract will be based on the then-current form of the Franchise Agreement. Zoomin Groomin assures that the territory and royalty rate will not change during renewals. Furthermore, the current form will not contain any changes of a material nature without the franchisee's consent.

To initiate the renewal process, the franchisee must notify Zoomin Groomin in writing at least 90 days before the expiration of the current agreement. Additionally, the franchisee is required to execute a general release of all claims they may have against Zoomin Groomin, using the franchisor's then-current form.

This renewal process is fairly standard in the franchise industry, where franchisors typically require franchisees to be in good standing and to sign a release of claims to ensure a smooth transition into a new term. The assurance that the territory and royalty rate will remain the same can provide some comfort and predictability for franchisees considering renewal. However, franchisees should carefully review the 'then current form of the Franchise Agreement' to understand any changes and their implications before committing to a new term.
