What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz FDD, the franchisee, referred to as the 'Developer,' bears the sole responsibility for finding acceptable sites for Dine-In Restaurants. While Angry Chickz may voluntarily assist in locating a site, this assistance doesn't guarantee the restaurant's profitability or successful operation. Angry Chickz expressly disclaims any responsibility in this regard.
Angry Chickz may impose a fee of $500 for each Site Review Kit if the Developer submits more than three Site Review Kits per Dine-In Restaurant to be developed. For the first proposed restaurant, Angry Chickz will visit the Development Area for up to one full business day without additional fees. Subsequent site visits requested by either Angry Chickz or the Developer will incur a fee of $500 plus all associated expenses, subject to the availability of Angry Chickz's personnel. Angry Chickz may also conduct site visits electronically.
Following Angry Chickz's acceptance of a proposed site, the Developer must promptly negotiate a lease or purchase agreement and submit a copy to Angry Chickz. If Angry Chickz doesn't provide written notice of acceptance or rejection within 30 days of receiving the Site Review Kit, or within 15 days of receiving additional requested information, the site is deemed rejected. However, Angry Chickz's acceptance of a proposed site will not be unreasonably withheld.
