What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Chicken Guy FDD, the Washington Addendum does form an integral part of the Development Agreement. Specifically, the addendum is incorporated into the Development Agreement. This means that the provisions outlined in the Washington Addendum are legally binding and must be followed by both Chicken Guy and the franchisee.
This addendum is executed because the franchise offer or sale was made in Washington, the developer is a resident of Washington, or part of the development territory is located in Washington. This ensures that the franchise agreement complies with Washington state laws and regulations.
Prospective Chicken Guy franchisees in Washington should carefully review the Washington Addendum along with the Development Agreement to fully understand their rights and obligations. This includes understanding how Washington state laws may modify or supersede certain provisions of the standard Development Agreement.
