What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Browns Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, Rider G is a contract addendum that allows a franchisee to offer video gaming at their Browns Chicken store. The rider is only applicable if the franchisee wishes to provide video gaming as an additional service.
The document states that Browns Chicken gives conditional consent for the franchisee to offer video gaming at their store, but this is subject to the terms and conditions outlined in Rider G. This consent is contingent upon the franchisee adhering to the stipulations within Rider G.
If the franchisee violates any part of Rider G or the Franchise Agreement, Browns Chicken has the right to terminate Rider G with a ten-day notice. However, if the franchisee's license as a Licensed Establishment is revoked, Browns Chicken can terminate Rider G immediately. The franchisee is also required to ensure that any agreement with a terminal operator includes a provision for termination with a ten-day notice, or immediate termination if the franchisee's license is revoked. If Rider G is terminated, the franchisee must remove all video gaming equipment and cease video gaming activities at the store.
In summary, Rider G serves as a conditional agreement that allows a Browns Chicken franchisee to offer video gaming services, provided they comply with the specific terms and conditions set forth by Browns Chicken. It also outlines the circumstances under which Browns Chicken can terminate the agreement, effectively prohibiting video gaming at the franchise location.
