What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, the responsibility for finding sites for Angry Chickz Dine-In Restaurants falls on both the company and the franchisee, depending on the location and type of restaurant. The document outlines specific territorial rights and reservations that dictate who has the authority to develop and operate restaurants in different areas.
Angry Chickz grants the franchisee certain territorial rights within a defined Development Area. During the term of the agreement, Angry Chickz and its affiliates cannot operate or grant licenses to others for Dine-In Restaurants within the Development Area, provided the franchisee complies with the agreement. However, Angry Chickz retains significant rights outside this area.
Angry Chickz expressly reserves the right to develop, own, and franchise restaurants outside the Development Area, regardless of proximity. They can also operate businesses under different names, develop restaurants at Non-Traditional Venues (within or outside the Development Area), and operate businesses under different names at any location, even if they compete with existing Angry Chickz restaurants. This includes the right to offer and sell products and services through various channels like catering, the internet, and food trucks, further emphasizing their broad operational control beyond the franchisee's territory.
