Chicken_Guy Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If you buy a franchise to develop and operate a Nontraditional Restaurant, after we have approved the site, you will sign a Franchise Agreement (Exhibit E) and an Addendum to Franchise Agreement for a Nontraditional Location ("Nontraditional Location Addendum") (Exhibit F) and pay the Initial Franchise Fee. The Nontraditional Location Addendum will identify the larger building ("Facility") in which the Nontraditional Restaurant will be located. The Nontraditional Location Addendum also will identify the portion of the Facility in which the Nontraditional Restaurant will be located. All references in this disclosure document to "Nontraditional Restaurant" or "Nontraditional Location" refer only to your operation of that portion of the Facility that is occupied by the Chicken Guy! Restaurant. Unless otherwise noted, in this disclosure document, all references to a "Franchised Restaurant" or "Franchised Location" also will include a Nontraditional Restaurant or Nontraditional Location, respectively.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee is approved to develop and operate a Nontraditional Restaurant, they will sign a Franchise Agreement and a Nontraditional Location Addendum. This addendum serves to provide specific details about the restaurant's location within a larger building or facility.
The Nontraditional Location Addendum will specifically identify the larger building or "Facility" in which the Nontraditional Restaurant will be situated. Furthermore, it will pinpoint the exact portion of that Facility that the Chicken Guy restaurant will occupy. This delineation is important because all references to "Nontraditional Restaurant" or "Nontraditional Location" pertain exclusively to the area within the Facility that is occupied by the Chicken Guy! Restaurant.
This means that the franchisee's rights and responsibilities are limited to the defined space within the larger facility. The FDD clarifies that unless otherwise stated, any references to a "Franchised Restaurant" or "Franchised Location" also include a Nontraditional Restaurant or Nontraditional Location, respectively. This ensures that the terms and conditions applicable to traditional franchises generally apply to nontraditional locations as well, unless specific exceptions are noted.
