Under what circumstances does Chicken Guy have the right to enter the leased premises?

According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Chicken Guy, as the franchisor, has specific rights to enter the leased premises of a franchised location. Chicken Guy can enter the premises to make modifications or alterations deemed necessary to protect the "Chicken Guy! System" and its proprietary marks. This ensures brand consistency and adherence to the franchisor's standards across all franchise locations. Chicken Guy can also enter the premises to address and resolve any defaults under the lease agreement, provided they act within the time periods specified by the lease.

This right of entry is granted to Chicken Guy without being considered trespass or any other tort, meaning the franchisee cannot sue Chicken Guy for entering under these specific circumstances. Furthermore, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs associated with any modifications or alterations made by Chicken Guy during such interventions. This provision is designed to allow Chicken Guy to maintain the integrity of its brand and operational standards, even if the franchisee is unable or unwilling to do so.

Additionally, if a franchisee fails to make necessary alterations and modifications to distinguish the premises from a Chicken Guy restaurant after the termination or expiration of the franchise agreement, Chicken Guy has the right to perform these actions. This ensures that the location does not continue to trade on Chicken Guy's brand recognition after the franchise agreement has ended. Chicken Guy is responsible for any necessary repairs to the building caused by these removals. These stipulations are typically included in franchise agreements to protect the franchisor's brand and ensure compliance with standards, even in situations where the franchisee is not meeting their obligations or after the franchise relationship has ended.
