What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, Angry Chickz has the ability to request product samples from a Proposed Supplier without incurring any costs. This means that if a franchisee wants to use a supplier that Angry Chickz hasn't already approved, Angry Chickz can ask that supplier to provide samples and other information at no charge to Angry Chickz.
This provision allows Angry Chickz to thoroughly evaluate potential new suppliers to ensure they meet the brand's standards before they are approved for use by franchisees. This protects the consistency and quality of the Angry Chickz brand across all franchise locations.
However, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with the review of the Proposed Supplier's application, including inspections, audits, and product testing. While Angry Chickz can obtain samples at no cost, the franchisee ultimately bears the financial burden of the approval process.
