What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, a tenant has the unrestricted right to assign or sublet the premises to Angry Chickz, its designee, or any franchisee or licensee approved by Angry Chickz, provided they meet the landlord's reasonable financial suitability requirements. This can be done without landlord consent, payment to the landlord, or modification of any term of the lease during the entire term of the lease, including any renewal terms.
However, the lease may not be assigned, subleased, modified, or amended without Angry Chickz's prior written consent, except as permitted above. Angry Chickz must be provided with copies of all such assignments, subleases, modifications, and amendments.
This means that while a franchisee can sublease to an affiliate approved by Angry Chickz without the landlord's consent, they cannot sublease to just anyone. The affiliate must be approved by Angry Chickz and meet the landlord's financial requirements. Additionally, any other changes to the lease require Angry Chickz's written consent.
