Bb_Q_Chicken Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Franchise Agreement: Your Franchise Agreement will specify the site or address that will be the accepted location for your Restaurant (the "Accepted Location"). Your Franchise Agreement may also specify your territory (the "Designated Territory"). The size and scope of the Designated Territory will be contained in the Franchise Agreement and will be determined based on two criteria: (1) whether the location is in an urban or suburban setting, and (2) how close in proximity it is to an existing bb.q Chicken Franchised Business. An urban area generally consists of contiguous territory having a density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile. A suburban area typically surrounds a major city and is typically made up of single-family detached residences with more green space and a lower population density than an urban area. The sources we use to obtain
population data include the U.S. Census Bureau. If your Franchised Business will be located in a suburban area, your Designated Territory will include a minimum of 10,000 people. If your Franchised Business will be located in an urban area, your Designated Territory will include a minimum of 5,000 people. No new franchised outlets may be established within a half-mile radius of an established bb.q Chicken Franchised Business. If you do not yet have a location at the signing of the Franchise Agreement, you will receive a non-exclusive site search area listed in Attachment 1 of the Franchise Agreement.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the specific site or address for an accepted Bb.Q Chicken Restaurant location will be detailed in the Franchise Agreement. This location is referred to as the "Accepted Location" within the agreement. The Franchise Agreement may also outline the franchisee's territory, known as the "Designated Territory," with its size and scope determined by whether the location is in an urban or suburban setting and its proximity to existing Bb.Q Chicken franchises.
For potential Bb.Q Chicken franchisees, this means that the exact location of their restaurant is a critical element of the Franchise Agreement. The agreement legally defines where the franchisee can operate. If a franchisee does not have a location identified when signing the Franchise Agreement, they will receive a non-exclusive site search area, which is listed in Attachment 1 of the Franchise Agreement.
It is important to note that Bb.Q Chicken does not grant exclusive territories. Franchisees may face competition from other franchisees, company-owned outlets, or other distribution channels. The Franchise Agreement specifies the terms and conditions under which Bb.Q Chicken may operate or franchise other businesses, including at non-traditional sites like airports or food courts, even within a franchisee's Designated Territory. Therefore, prospective franchisees should carefully review the terms of the Franchise Agreement regarding site selection, territory, and potential competition before investing in a Bb.Q Chicken franchise.
