What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Browns Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, a prospective franchisee can withdraw their application and terminate the Preliminary Agreement by delivering a written notice of termination to Browns Chicken. This notice must be given before the prospective franchisee submits a proposed site and before Browns Chicken approves that site.
If the prospective franchisee withdraws their application before a site is both proposed and approved, the agreement is terminated. However, if the prospective franchisee withdraws their application after Browns Chicken has approved a site, the franchisee will not be entitled to a refund of their deposit.
This policy incentivizes prospective Browns Chicken franchisees to carefully consider their site selection and application before Browns Chicken invests time and resources into evaluating a proposed location. It also highlights the importance of clear communication and timely decision-making during the franchise application process.
