What consumable products does Chesters sell to its franchisees?

According to Chesters's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chesters sells various consumable products to its franchisees, either directly or indirectly through unaffiliated third-party distributors and grocery wholesalers. These products are manufactured for Chesters by a third party and include the blended products used to prepare chicken sold under the Chesters brand, specifically breading, batter dip, and marinades.

In addition to these blended products, Chesters also sells packaging and other paper materials to franchisees. These materials are also sold to unaffiliated third-party distributors and grocery wholesalers for resale to the franchisees. This indicates that franchisees may have multiple avenues for sourcing these essential supplies, but they must adhere to Chesters's standards for packaging and paper goods.

It is important to note that an affiliate of Chesters, BirdShack, LLC, also sells chicken-related food products, including breading, to non-Chesters food-service operators. These operators do not have the right to use any of the trademarks that Chesters franchisees use, except for the BirdShack name. This arrangement allows Chesters to expand its reach in the food-service industry while maintaining distinct branding and operational standards for its franchise system.
