You are solely responsible for locating your Restaurant site, the Location, subject to our acceptance. Unless we notify you in writing that the proposed site is acceptable within 30 days after you have submitted a site review request package for a proposed site (or 15 days after receipt of additional information which we request), the site will be deemed rejected. You may not relocate your Restaurant without our prior written consent.
If you do not already have a location when you sign your Franchise Agreement, you must promptly purchase or lease a site for your Restaurant. You must submit your proposed lease to us for review and provide a fully signed copy. Your lease must not (a) obligate us in any manner, (b) contain any provision inconsistent with your Franchise Agreement, or (c) contain a non-competition covenant which restricts us or our affiliates. In addition, your lease must provide for a term at least as long as the term of your Franchise Agreement and must include the lease addendum attached to the Franchise Agreement as Exhibit D.
If you purchase the Location, you must submit the purchase contract to us for review, and provide a fully signed copy within 10 days following signing.
You must sign the lease or purchase agreement no later than 90 days after the effective date of your Franchise Agreement.

According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you do not already have a location when signing the Franchise Agreement, you must promptly purchase or lease a site for your restaurant. You are required to submit your proposed lease to Angry Chickz for review and provide a fully signed copy.
The lease agreement must not obligate Angry Chickz in any way, contain provisions inconsistent with the Franchise Agreement, or include a non-competition covenant that restricts Angry Chickz or its affiliates. Additionally, the lease term must be at least as long as the term of the Franchise Agreement and must include the lease addendum attached to the Franchise Agreement as Exhibit D.
