Who is Browns Chicken's current approved supplier of video gaming equipment?

According to Browns Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the current approved supplier of video gaming equipment is Aceel Entertainment, located in Burr Ridge, Illinois. This means that if a franchisee chooses to include video gaming equipment in their Browns Chicken location, they must source it from this specific supplier.

Browns Chicken maintains a list of approved brands, types, and models for various equipment, fixtures, furniture, and signs. This requirement ensures that all franchise locations adhere to the franchisor's standards for design, appearance, function, performance, serviceability, and warranties. While franchisees are generally free to purchase or lease approved items from any source, the video gaming equipment must come from Aceel Entertainment.

If a franchisee wishes to use a different brand, type, or model of equipment not already approved by Browns Chicken, they must seek written approval from the franchisor. This process involves submitting specifications, photographs, drawings, or samples for Browns Chicken to evaluate. The approval process can take between 2 to 6 months, depending on factors such as the specific equipment and the supplier's responsiveness. This requirement allows Browns Chicken to maintain consistency and quality across all franchise locations while still considering new options proposed by franchisees.
