What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for finding a location for their restaurant, but Angry Chickz must approve it. Angry Chickz has 30 days to notify the franchisee in writing whether the proposed site is acceptable after receiving a site review request package. If Angry Chickz requests additional information, they then have 15 days after receiving that information to notify the franchisee in writing.
If Angry Chickz does not notify the franchisee within the specified time frame, the site is considered rejected. This means the franchisee cannot move forward with that location and must find another one for Angry Chickz to review. The franchisee cannot relocate their restaurant without prior written consent from Angry Chickz.
This process is important for prospective franchisees to understand, as it dictates the timeline for securing a location. Franchisees need to factor in the time it takes to prepare the site review request package, the 30-day (or potentially longer) review period by Angry Chickz, and the possibility of needing to find an alternative location if the first choice is rejected. This could impact the overall timeline for opening the restaurant and starting operations.
