Additionally, Dogtopia recognized the potential for a knowledge gap between its U.S.-based head office and Canadian franchisees within the chain and responded with a somewhat specialized organizational structure – the Regional Developer model.

What is a “Regional Developer” Model?

Regional Developers invest their capital into acquiring territorial rights to a particular franchise concept, and then invest their time, efforts, knowledge, experience and abilities into recruiting and supporting Franchisees located within that territory.
