What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Chicken Guy Franchise Disclosure Document, the provisions of the Addendum form an integral part of, and are incorporated into, the Franchise Agreement. This means that the Addendum is legally connected to the Franchise Agreement, and both documents should be read together as one complete agreement.
This Addendum is executed because the offer or sale of a franchise to the Franchisee was made in a specific state, the Franchisee is a resident of a specific state, and/or the Franchised Restaurant will be located and/or operated in a specific state. For example, addenda are required for franchisees in California, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Rhode Island, South Dakota, and Washington.
For prospective Chicken Guy franchisees, this means that in addition to the standard Franchise Agreement, they will also receive a state-specific Addendum that modifies or supplements the terms of the Franchise Agreement to comply with local state laws. Franchisees should carefully review both the Franchise Agreement and the Addendum to understand their rights and obligations. If there are inconsistencies between the two documents, the Addendum typically takes precedence to the extent required by state law.
