What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Zoomin Groomin's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the financial performance representation includes data from 66 of the 169 total Zoomin Groomin Vehicles that operated in 2024. The reason for this is that only these 66 vehicles operated for the entire calendar year.
The financial performance representation excludes data from 5 Zoomin Groomin Vehicles that were transferred to new owners during the year. Additionally, it excludes 98 Vehicles that did not operate for the full calendar year. Of these, 91 opened part-way through 2024, 6 closed part-way through the year, and 1 was temporarily closed.
This exclusion is a common practice in franchise financial performance representations, as including data from outlets that operated for only part of the year could skew the results and provide a misleading picture of potential earnings for a new Zoomin Groomin franchisee. By focusing on vehicles with a full year of operation, the financial performance representation aims to provide a more accurate and reliable estimate of potential revenues.
