What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees have the option to renew their franchise agreement for two successive terms, each lasting five years. This means that after the initial 10-year franchise term, a franchisee in good standing can extend their agreement for an additional 10 years through these renewals.
However, to exercise the renewal option, franchisees must meet several requirements. These include paying a successor agreement fee, complying with all obligations under the existing Franchise Agreement, providing notice of intent to renew between 9 and 12 months before the current term expires, and executing a new franchise agreement. This new agreement may contain terms and conditions that differ significantly from the original contract, so franchisees should carefully review it with legal counsel.
Additionally, franchisees must have completed any required remodeling, renovation, or refurbishment of their Angry Chickz restaurant within the five years preceding the renewal, sign a general release, and not have committed three or more material defaults during the 36-month period before renewal. Franchisees and their employees must also meet Angry Chickz's then-current qualification, training, and certification requirements, at their own expense. Meeting these conditions is crucial for securing the additional 10 years of operating under the Angry Chickz brand.
