In relation to the Franchise Agreement, when is the Chicken Guy addendum entered into?

According to the 2025 Chicken Guy Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum to the Restaurant Franchise Agreement is entered into simultaneously with the execution of the Franchise Agreement. This means that the addendum, which may contain state-specific modifications or clarifications to the standard franchise agreement, becomes effective at the same time the franchisee signs the main Franchise Agreement.

For a prospective Chicken Guy franchisee, this simultaneous execution ensures that all terms and conditions, including any state-specific requirements outlined in the addendum, are agreed upon and legally binding from the outset of the franchise relationship. This integrated approach helps to avoid potential conflicts or misunderstandings that could arise if the addendum were executed at a different time.

It is important for franchisees to carefully review both the Franchise Agreement and any accompanying addenda before signing, to fully understand their rights and obligations. Some addenda, such as those for California, South Dakota, or Maryland, address specific legal requirements or clarifications unique to those states. The FDD also notes that no statement can waive claims under state franchise law.
