What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for choosing a location for their restaurant, subject to the franchisor's approval. Item 11 outlines that Angry Chickz does not locate sites for franchisees but may offer assistance in locating or evaluating a site. The franchisor will review the information provided by the franchisee regarding a proposed site and either accept or reject it based on their current standards.
The site review process involves the franchisee submitting information about the proposed site to Angry Chickz. The franchisor then has 30 days to either accept or reject the site. If supplemental information is requested, they have 15 days after receiving it to make a decision. Failure to respond within these timeframes results in the site being deemed rejected. The franchisee is explicitly prohibited from entering into any lease or purchase agreement until the site has been formally accepted by Angry Chickz.
Angry Chickz may charge a fee of $500 for each Site Review Kit if a franchisee submits more than three. Factors considered by Angry Chickz in determining the size of a franchisee's protected area include demographics, population size, neighboring retail tenants, visibility, and proximity to other businesses, as well as their current site and territory standards. The Franchise Agreement further details these obligations in Section 5.1.
