Beyond the filing

Everything else on this page is quoted from Wag N' Wash's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

Google returns at most twenty locations for a search, so the rating is a sample of Wag N' Wash's outlets rather than all of them. The site on file for Wag N' Wash is its franchise-recruitment site rather than its consumer site, so locator and app checks would say nothing about the brand and are not shown.

Common questions

Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.

How much does a Wag N' Wash franchise cost?

Wag N' Wash's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $521K–$1.4M. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $49,900, and is included in that range.

What royalty does Wag N' Wash charge?

Wag N' Wash charges a continuing royalty of 2% of gross sales, disclosed in Item 6. A separate brand or advertising fund contribution of 1% applies on top. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.

Does Wag N' Wash disclose earnings (Item 19)?

Yes. Wag N' Wash makes a financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. The filing reports average annual gross revenue of $1,301,435 and a median of $1,433,343. That figure covers 11 outlets. Item 19 is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule, and gross revenue is not profit — it is stated before royalties, rent, staff and every other cost.

Facts on this page are sourced from a third-party archive's copy of Wag N' Wash's Franchise Disclosure Document, not filed with us directly — treat figures here as one step further from the original filing.

Parent Franchise Group, Inc. and affiliate WNW Franchising, LLC filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on 2024-11-03 (per frandb.com), hence item4_bankruptcy=true; brand franchising now administered via Pet Supplies Plus Franchising (Livonia, MI) after Franchise Group restructuring, which explains the HQ location differing from the brand's Colorado origins. Item 7 range varies by source/year: franchisepanda's older 2020 PDF preview showed $425,050-$789,350 (single unit) vs frandb's 2025 figure of $520,520-$1,357,600 used here. Item 12/17 not found on any accessible source within the two-attempt budget; left null rather than guessed. No primary FDD PDF was fetchable for free.
