What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Churchs Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, the addendum modifies the original franchise agreement, but the original agreement remains in effect. Specifically, unless the addendum explicitly changes a part of the original agreement, all other parts of the original franchise agreement remain as they were originally written.
This means that a Churchs Chicken franchisee must follow both the original franchise agreement and the addendum. It is important that the franchisee understands how the addendum alters the original agreement, and what parts of the original agreement are still in effect.
This information is typically found in the section of the FDD that discusses the franchise agreement and any state-specific addenda. Franchisees should carefully review these documents with a legal professional to fully understand their rights and obligations.
