What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Rhode Island Addendum to the Restaurant Franchise Agreement is required under specific circumstances related to the franchisee or the location of the franchise. The addendum is an integral part of the Franchise Agreement and is incorporated into it.
The Rhode Island Addendum is executed if the offer or sale of the Chicken Guy franchise was made in the state of Rhode Island. It is also required if the franchisee is a resident of Rhode Island. Furthermore, the addendum applies if the franchised restaurant will be located or operated in Rhode Island, or if any part of the protected area associated with the franchise is located within Rhode Island.
This means that if a prospective Chicken Guy franchisee meets any of these conditions—the franchise was offered or sold in Rhode Island, the franchisee lives in Rhode Island, or the restaurant's location or protected area is in Rhode Island—they will need to sign the Rhode Island Addendum. This addendum modifies the standard franchise agreement to comply with Rhode Island law.
