What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, a developer is explicitly restricted from creating obligations on behalf of Angry Chickz in a lease agreement. The lease must name the developer as the sole lessee and cannot be subleased by any affiliate without Angry Chickz's written consent.
Specifically, the developer cannot create obligations for Angry Chickz, grant rights against Angry Chickz to the lessor, or agree to terms inconsistent with the Area Development Agreement. The lease term must also be at least as long as the Franchise Agreement, unless Angry Chickz approves a shorter term in writing.
The lease must include Angry Chickz's current lease addendum and meet the standards set by Angry Chickz. The developer is responsible for fulfilling all obligations under the lease, and a copy of the executed lease must be provided to Angry Chickz. Angry Chickz's review of the lease is solely to ensure it meets their minimum standards and specifications, and it does not constitute an endorsement of the lease or confirmation of its favorability to the developer.
