What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are required to purchase forms from approved suppliers. Angry Chickz may periodically designate and approve standards and/or suppliers of various products and services for use at or sale from the restaurant, including forms. Franchisees must purchase or lease these items only according to the established standards.
Angry Chickz requires franchisees to purchase authorized ingredients, products, and services from specific sources. These sources include Angry Chickz or its affiliates, suppliers designated by Angry Chickz, suppliers approved by Angry Chickz, or suppliers selected by the franchisee with Angry Chickz's prior written approval. This means that if forms are included in the list of products and services that Angry Chickz authorizes, franchisees must adhere to these sourcing guidelines.
If a franchisee wishes to use a supplier that Angry Chickz has not yet approved, they must seek approval by providing detailed information about the proposed supplier and the products or services they offer. Angry Chickz will then evaluate whether the proposed supplier meets their standards and criteria. This process ensures that all products and services used by Angry Chickz franchisees meet the brand's standards for quality and consistency.
