What This Means (2025 FDD)
The 2025 Bb.Q Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document does not explicitly state the exact number of copies of the franchise agreement that must be executed and delivered. However, it does specify the process for executing franchise agreements, particularly within the context of multi-unit operators.
For multi-unit operators, a separate Franchise Agreement must be executed for each Franchised Business at a site approved by Bb.Q Chicken. The franchisee must execute and return the Franchise Agreement within ten days of receipt from Bb.Q Chicken. If the executed agreement is not received within this timeframe, Bb.Q Chicken's site approval becomes void. The franchise agreement for the first development right is executed with the multi-unit operator agreement, with subsequent franchise agreements using the then-current form, subject to certain conditions.
While the FDD does not specify the number of copies, it is standard franchise practice to require at least two original copies of the franchise agreement to be signed—one for the franchisee and one for the franchisor. A prospective Bb.Q Chicken franchisee should confirm the exact number of required copies with the franchisor to ensure compliance with their procedures.
