What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee seeks to assign their franchise agreement to a new owner, the rights and obligations to occupy the location must be assigned to and assumed by the transferee. This requirement is contingent upon Angry Chickz granting consent for the assignment.
Angry Chickz may impose several conditions before consenting to the assignment. One such condition is that the franchisee's rights and obligations to occupy the location are transferred to the new franchisee. This includes ensuring that any necessary consent for the transfer is obtained and that all relevant documentation is provided to Angry Chickz for review and acceptance.
This provision ensures that the new franchisee assumes the responsibilities associated with the location, maintaining continuity and compliance with lease agreements or property ownership terms. It also protects Angry Chickz's interests by ensuring that the location continues to be properly managed under the franchise agreement.
