What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, the addenda modify the original development agreement, but generally leave the original agreement otherwise intact and enforceable. Several addenda included in Item 23 address specific state laws and regulations. These addenda modify the original agreement to comply with state-specific requirements in California, Rhode Island, Virginia, Maryland and Illinois.
For example, the addendum for Rhode Island modifies sections of the Development Agreement relating to jurisdiction and venue, ensuring compliance with the Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act. Similarly, the addendum for Virginia defers initial fee payments until Angry Chickz satisfies its pre-opening obligations and the first business opens. The Maryland addendum defers fees based on the franchisor's financial condition and modifies clauses related to releases, jurisdiction, and statutes of limitations to comply with Maryland law.
In general, each addendum states that except as expressly modified within the addendum itself, the original Area Development Agreement remains valid and enforceable according to its original terms. This means that prospective Angry Chickz franchisees should carefully review both the original Development Agreement and any addenda applicable to their specific state to understand the complete set of terms and conditions governing their franchise.
