What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, after receiving the Company's acceptance of a proposed site, a developer must promptly negotiate a lease or purchase agreement for the site. The developer is then required to submit a copy of the proposed lease or purchase agreement to Angry Chickz for their review.
Following the submission of the lease or purchase agreement, Angry Chickz will then notify the developer of their acceptance or rejection of the proposed agreement, provided it meets the company's requirements. If the location is to be leased or subleased, the lease must name the developer as the sole lessee and cannot be subleased to any affiliate of the developer without Angry Chickz's prior written consent.
The lease term must also be no less than the term of the Franchise Agreement, unless Angry Chickz approves a shorter term in writing. The lease must be subject to Angry Chickz's current lease addendum and contain terms required by their standards. The developer is responsible for fulfilling all obligations under the lease, and a fully executed copy of the lease must be delivered to Angry Chickz promptly after execution. The lease should also include an addendum in the form prescribed by Angry Chickz, unless the company consents otherwise in writing.
It is important to note that Angry Chickz's review and acceptance of the lease or purchase agreement is solely for their benefit and indicates only that the lease meets their minimum standards at the time of acceptance. This review does not constitute an endorsement of the lease, confirmation of compliance with applicable law, or confirmation that the lease terms are favorable to the developer, and Angry Chickz disclaims any responsibility in this regard.
