What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must 'de-identify' the former location if they relocate their franchise. This means removing all branding, logos, and other elements that identify the location as an Angry Chickz restaurant.
Specifically, Article 15.1.1 details the process of de-identification, stating that the franchisee must make cosmetic changes so that the location no longer resembles the restaurant. This includes removing materials that identify the business as an Angry Chickz, such as logos, signs, menus, decals, and specific cosmetic features like lighting, furniture, and color schemes. The franchisee is responsible for the cost of these changes.
In addition to de-identification, the franchisee must obtain Angry Chickz's prior written consent before relocating. The franchisee must also pay a relocation fee of $5,000, or a greater amount if necessary to reimburse Angry Chickz for its costs associated with the relocation. This fee covers Angry Chickz's expenses related to the relocation process. These requirements ensure that the brand's image is protected and that Angry Chickz is compensated for any costs incurred due to the relocation.
