Can an Angry Chickz franchisee engage in co-branding without prior written consent?

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are not allowed to imprint or authorize anyone else to imprint the Angry Chickz marks on any product without first getting written approval from Angry Chickz. This requirement ensures that the brand maintains control over its image and how it is presented to the public.

This restriction means that an Angry Chickz franchisee cannot engage in any co-branding activities or put the Angry Chickz logo on any products without explicit permission from the company. This includes promotional items, joint marketing campaigns, or any other instance where the Angry Chickz brand is used in conjunction with another brand or product.

Angry Chickz retains the right to withhold or condition any approval related to the use of its marks. This allows Angry Chickz to carefully evaluate any proposed co-branding or use of its trademarks to ensure it aligns with the brand's standards and values. Franchisees must be diligent in seeking and obtaining this approval to avoid violating the franchise agreement.

In practical terms, an Angry Chickz franchisee needs to communicate and coordinate closely with the franchisor on all marketing and branding initiatives. Any deviation from the approved standards could lead to a breach of contract and potential penalties.
