What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a 'Franchised Location' is defined as the physical area within a larger building where the Chicken Guy restaurant operates. This includes the restaurant itself, whether it's a food-court, in-line application, stand-alone restaurant, or another type of location, along with any dedicated back-of-house area. The specific layout and dimensions of this area are detailed in the floor plan attached as Exhibit A to the Franchise Agreement.
This definition is particularly relevant for Chicken Guy restaurants operating in 'Nontraditional Locations' or 'Captive Market Locations,' where certain standard provisions of the Franchise Agreement may not apply. In these cases, the Franchise Agreement is modified to reflect the specific operational characteristics of the location. The menu offered at the Franchised Location may also be limited, as determined by Chicken Guy, and specified in Exhibit A.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review Exhibit A of the Franchise Agreement to understand the exact physical space they will be operating and any limitations on the menu they can offer. It is also important to note if other businesses are operated by the franchisee or its affiliates at the same Facility, as this can impact the overall operation and management of the Chicken Guy restaurant.
