What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Churchs Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Grand Opening Advertising Campaign must conclude no later than 90 days after the restaurant opens. This campaign utilizes funds specifically designated for grand opening advertising.
For a prospective franchisee, this means that Churchs Chicken will conduct an advertising campaign to promote the new restaurant's opening. This campaign is funded through the Grand Opening Advertising Funds. The campaign will start no earlier than the restaurant's opening date and must be completed within 90 days after the opening.
This requirement ensures that new Churchs Chicken restaurants receive initial marketing support to boost awareness and attract customers during the critical launch period. Franchisees can expect corporate-led advertising initiatives to help establish their presence in the local market within the first three months of operation. This support is particularly valuable as it leverages the franchisor's expertise and resources to maximize the impact of the grand opening campaign.
