Does Angry Chickz have the right to assign its purchase option?

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, Angry Chickz has the unrestricted right to assign its purchase option. Specifically, if Angry Chickz decides to purchase the assets or the lease of a franchised location, they can transfer this right to another party without limitations.

This clause provides Angry Chickz with flexibility in managing its franchise network. For example, Angry Chickz might assign its purchase option to a subsidiary, a partner, or even another franchisee. This could occur if Angry Chickz wants to consolidate operations, bring in a specialized operator, or facilitate a transfer of ownership in a particular market.

For a potential franchisee, this means that if Angry Chickz exercises its option to purchase the franchise, the actual buyer could be a third party designated by Angry Chickz. While the franchisee would still be dealing with Angry Chickz initially, the ultimate purchaser and future landlord (if the lease is assigned) could be someone else. Franchisees should consider this possibility and ensure they are comfortable with the potential for a change in ownership and management of the location.
