What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz FDD, the Virginia addendum is applicable to the franchise agreement if the offer or sale of a franchise was made in Virginia, the franchisee is a resident of Virginia, and/or the franchised business will be located in the state of Virginia.
Specifically, the addendum modifies the franchise agreement to ensure compliance with the Virginia Retail Franchising Act. It addresses issues such as the franchisor's right to cancel the franchise and the franchisee's rights under Virginia franchise law. The addendum also stipulates that the payment of initial fees is deferred until Angry Chickz has met its pre-opening obligations and the franchisee's business is open to the public.
For a prospective Angry Chickz franchisee in Virginia, this means that certain provisions of the standard franchise agreement are superseded by the addendum to provide additional protections under Virginia law. It is important for the franchisee to carefully review the addendum along with the franchise agreement to understand their rights and obligations.
