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

According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, Angry Chickz has the unrestricted right to assign its purchase option. Specifically, Section 15.3.7 of the FDD states that Angry Chickz can assign its purchase option to another party without any limitations.

This means that if Angry Chickz decides to exercise its option to purchase a franchisee's business, it is not obligated to complete the purchase itself. It can transfer this right to another entity, such as an affiliate or a third-party investor.

For a potential franchisee, this clause indicates that the future ownership of their franchise location could potentially be transferred to an unknown third party if Angry Chickz chooses to exercise its purchase option and then assign it. This adds a layer of uncertainty regarding the long-term stability and management of the franchise.
