You are solely responsible for locating your Restaurant site, the Location, subject to our acceptance. Unless we notify you in writing that the proposed site is acceptable within 30 days after you have submitted a site review request package for a proposed site (or 15 days after receipt of additional information which we request), the site will be deemed rejected.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees are responsible for finding a suitable restaurant site, but Angry Chickz must approve the location. Franchisees must submit a site review request package, and Angry Chickz has 30 days to approve or reject the proposed site (or 15 days after receiving additional requested information). Failure to notify the franchisee within this timeframe results in the site being deemed rejected. Franchisees cannot relocate without prior written consent from Angry Chickz.
If a franchisee doesn't have a location when signing the Franchise Agreement, they must promptly purchase or lease a site. The proposed lease must be submitted to Angry Chickz for review, along with a fully signed copy. The lease agreement cannot obligate Angry Chickz in any way, contain provisions inconsistent with the Franchise Agreement, or include a non-competition covenant that restricts Angry Chickz or its affiliates.
The lease term must be at least as long as the term of the Franchise Agreement, and the lease must include the addendum attached to the Franchise Agreement as Exhibit D. If the franchisee chooses to purchase the location, the purchase contract must be submitted to Angry Chickz for review, with a fully signed copy provided within 10 days of signing. The lease or purchase agreement must be signed no later than 90 days after the Franchise Agreement's effective date.
