What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Angry Chickz Franchise Disclosure Document, there are several circumstances that trigger the execution of an addendum to the franchise or development agreement. One instance is when the offer or sale of a franchise is made in Virginia, the franchisee is a resident of Virginia, or the franchised business will be located in Virginia. This addendum ensures compliance with the Virginia Retail Franchising Act, addressing issues such as unlawful franchise cancellation without reasonable cause and the franchisee's rights.
Another addendum is executed when the offer or sale of a franchise is made in Rhode Island, the franchisee is a resident of Rhode Island, or part or all of the development area is located in Rhode Island. This addendum includes language pertaining to Section 19-28.1-14 of the Rhode Island Franchise Investment Act, which voids any provision in a franchise agreement restricting jurisdiction or venue to a forum outside of Rhode Island or requiring the application of the laws of another state with respect to a claim enforceable under the Act.
Additionally, Angry Chickz executes an addendum in Illinois. This addendum defers the payment of initial fees until Angry Chickz has met its pre-opening obligations and the franchisee's business is open to the public. The Illinois Attorney General's Office mandates this deferral due to Angry Chickz's financial condition. The Illinois addendum also specifies that any provision designating jurisdiction and venue outside of Illinois is void, although arbitration outside of Illinois is permitted, and that Illinois law governs the agreements. In California, Angry Chickz defers the payment of the development fee until each Angry Chickz business opens for business.
