What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chick Fil A's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several documents, in addition to the mutual covenants and agreements, constitute consideration for the agreement between Chick-fil-A and the operator. These documents collectively form the complete and integrated agreement.
For a Captive Venue Unit or Delivery Kitchen Unit, these include the data sheet attached as Exhibit A (as amended), the Equipment Lease Addendum attached as Exhibit B, and either the Concession Agreement (Exhibit C for Captive Venue Units) or the DK Lease (Exhibit C for Delivery Kitchen Units). The Franchise Agreement itself, any applicable Assignment, and any relevant Additional Business Amendment are also included.
Furthermore, all documents, schedules, exhibits, and information specifically incorporated into the agreement and the Franchise Agreement by reference are considered part of the overall agreement. Chick-fil-A emphasizes that operators should rely only on representations within these documents or in the most recent Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) provided by Chick-fil-A, including its exhibits, amendments, and supplements.
