We will either transfer the brand fund contributions to a separate entity to whom we have delegated the responsibility to operate and maintain the brand fund or place the funds in a separate account that we maintain. We may not use this money principally to solicit new franchise sales. We may include information regarding acquiring a franchise on or as a part of materials and items produced by or for the Brand Fund.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, if Angry Chickz transfers brand fund contributions to a separate entity, that entity assumes the responsibility to operate and maintain the brand fund. This means the separate entity is then in charge of managing the fund's assets and ensuring they are used appropriately. Angry Chickz retains the option to either transfer the brand fund contributions to a separate entity or place the funds in a separate account that they maintain themselves.
The brand fund is intended to cover various costs related to advertising and promoting the Angry Chickz brand. These costs can include creating marketing materials, placing advertisements, conducting market research, and organizing promotional events. The funds are meant to enhance the image, identity, and customer patronage of Angry Chickz restaurants.
Angry Chickz has the authority to direct how the brand fund is used, controlling the creative concepts, materials, media placement, and allocation of resources. While the intention is for the fund to be perpetual, Angry Chickz reserves the right to terminate it once all the money has been spent on advertising and promotional activities. This gives Angry Chickz significant control over the fund's operations and duration.
