What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee is not permitted to enter into any lease or purchase agreement for a site before Angry Chickz has formally accepted the proposed location. Angry Chickz will review information regarding a proposed site and either accept or reject it based on their current standards.
If Angry Chickz does not respond within 30 days of the initial submission, or within 15 days of receiving supplemental information if requested, the site is automatically considered rejected. This process ensures that all locations meet the brand's criteria before a franchisee commits to a long-term lease or purchase.
This requirement protects both the franchisee and the Angry Chickz brand. By ensuring proper site selection, Angry Chickz aims to maintain consistency and increase the likelihood of success for each location. The franchisor may also impose a fee of $500 per Site Review Kit if they determine that the franchisee has submitted more than 3 Site Review Kits.
