What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Chicken Guy FDD, the Veterans Program Addendum is specifically designed for new franchisees who do not currently operate any Chicken Guy restaurants. The addendum aims to recognize the contributions of United States military personnel and encourage the development of new Chicken Guy restaurants by offering incentives to qualified veteran franchisees.
The document states that to qualify for the Veterans Program, the franchisee must not currently operate any Chicken Guy restaurants. The franchisee (or a holder of at least 51% ownership if the franchisee is an entity) must be a veteran and provide documentation of honorable discharge from the United States military.
Since the Veterans Program Addendum is intended for franchisees who are developing and opening new Chicken Guy restaurants and who do not currently operate any, it would not apply to existing Chicken Guy franchisees.
