What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the total number of outlets at the end of 2023 was 24. This total is derived from company- and affiliate-owned locations, as the number of franchised locations was zero at the end of 2023.
Specifically, the FDD provides a breakdown of outlet changes over the years. In 2023, the number of company- and affiliate-owned Angry Chickz restaurants increased by 6, from 18 at the start of the year to 24 at the end. This indicates that Angry Chickz focused on expanding through company-owned stores rather than franchising during that period.
For a prospective franchisee, this data highlights the brand's growth strategy. While the total number of outlets increased, none were franchised. This could suggest that Angry Chickz is still developing its franchise model or is prioritizing corporate expansion. It would be prudent for potential franchisees to inquire about the company's future franchising plans and the support provided to franchisees compared to company-owned stores.
