What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Chicken Guy's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, an extension to the opening date for a franchised restaurant may be granted if the developer can demonstrate that the delay was due to actions or inactions by a governmental agency. This extension applies solely to the specific franchised restaurant affected by the governmental delay.
This condition protects the franchisee from delays outside of their control, specifically those caused by government-related issues. However, it is important to note that the franchisee must provide sufficient evidence to Chicken Guy to prove that the delay was indeed caused by a governmental agency.
It is also important to understand that this extension only applies to the specific restaurant experiencing the delay. The opening dates for any other Chicken Guy restaurants under the same agreement will not be affected. This ensures that the developer remains on track with their overall development schedule, even if one location faces unforeseen delays.
