What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chesters's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 22 lists the agreements included as exhibits. Specifically, the CHESTER'S Restaurant Agreement is included as Exhibit B, State-Specific Riders to the CHESTER'S Restaurant Agreement are included as Exhibit F, and Ascentium Capital Financing Program Documents are included as Exhibit G. These are the only contracts listed as exhibits to the disclosure document.
It is important to carefully review all agreements and exhibits to fully understand the obligations and responsibilities of both Chesters and the franchisee. Franchisees should pay close attention to any state-specific riders, as these may modify the standard agreement based on local laws and regulations.
While the FDD includes several key agreements, it is possible that additional documents or agreements may be required during the franchising process. Therefore, prospective franchisees should confirm with Chesters whether there are any other contracts, addenda, or agreements they will need to sign beyond those listed in Item 22 to ensure they have a complete understanding of their obligations.
