When is the Addendum to the Chicken Guy! Restaurant Development Agreement entered into?

According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Addendum to the Restaurant Development Agreement is entered into simultaneously with the execution of the Development Agreement. This means that the Addendum, which modifies or supplements the original Development Agreement, becomes effective at the same time the Development Agreement is signed.

For a prospective Chicken Guy franchisee, this simultaneous execution ensures that all terms and conditions, including any changes or additions outlined in the Addendum, are in effect from the beginning of the development relationship. It avoids any potential confusion or disputes about which version of the agreement is controlling.

It is important for the franchisee to carefully review both the Development Agreement and the Addendum before signing to fully understand their obligations and rights. The FDD also mentions that the Development Agreement contains an integration/merger clause in Section 20, stating that only the terms of the Development Agreement are binding, subject to state law, and any representations or promises made outside the disclosure document and the Development Agreement may not be enforceable.
