Does Chesters install the equipment, signage, and food items that they sell to franchisees?

According to Chesters's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chesters will sell franchisees equipment, signage, and various food items. Chesters will deliver these items or cause them to be delivered. However, Chesters is not required to install anything at the franchisee's restaurant location.

This means that while Chesters is responsible for providing the necessary equipment, signage, and food items to get the restaurant up and running, the franchisee is responsible for the actual installation of these items. This could involve hiring a third-party contractor to handle the installation, or the franchisee and their staff completing the installation themselves.

It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in the cost of installation when budgeting for the opening of their Chesters franchise. This could include the cost of labor, materials, and any necessary permits or inspections. Franchisees should also ensure that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to properly install the equipment and signage, or that they hire a qualified contractor to do so.
