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.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you are buying a franchise to develop and operate a Nontraditional Restaurant, once Chicken Guy approves the site, you must sign a Franchise Agreement and an Addendum to Franchise Agreement for a Nontraditional Location. You must also pay the Initial Franchise Fee at this time.
The Nontraditional Location Addendum will specify the larger building (referred to as the "Facility") where the Nontraditional Restaurant will be situated. It will also pinpoint the specific area within the Facility that the Chicken Guy restaurant will occupy.
It's important to note that all references to "Nontraditional Restaurant" or "Nontraditional Location" pertain solely to the portion of the Facility where the Chicken Guy restaurant operates. Unless stated otherwise, any mention of a "Franchised Restaurant" or "Franchised Location" includes both traditional and nontraditional setups.
