Under what conditions is Angry Chickz not obligated to provide the Initial Training Program?

According to Angry Chickz's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Angry Chickz is not required to provide the Initial Training Program under specific circumstances related to the franchisee's prior experience with the company. Specifically, Angry Chickz is not obligated to provide the Initial Training Program if the current agreement is the third or subsequent agreement between the franchisee (or any of its affiliates) and Angry Chickz. This suggests that Angry Chickz assumes that franchisees with multiple existing locations already possess the necessary knowledge and skills to operate a new franchise.

Additionally, Angry Chickz is not obligated to provide the Initial Training Program if the agreement is a Successor Franchise Agreement. This typically refers to an agreement where an existing franchise is being transferred or renewed, implying that the operating personnel are already trained. Furthermore, Angry Chickz is not obligated to provide the Initial Training Program if the agreement is signed in connection with an assignment or transfer of a Restaurant, which again suggests that the new operator is taking over an already-functioning business with trained staff.

These stipulations are important for potential franchisees to consider, as they may affect the level of support and training they receive from Angry Chickz. Franchisees entering into their first agreement with Angry Chickz can expect to receive the Initial Training Program, while those with prior experience or those acquiring existing franchises may not automatically receive this training. It is crucial for prospective franchisees to clarify their training needs with Angry Chickz, especially if they are acquiring an existing franchise but lack prior experience with the brand.
