What is the deadline for a Churchs Chicken franchisee to provide written notification of their election to renew the sublease?

According to Churchs Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee who subleases their location and wishes to extend the sublease term must provide written notification of their election to do so no later than twelve months prior to the expiration of the initial sublease term.

This requirement is conditional, as the franchisee must not be in default of the sublease agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure periods at the time of commencement of the extension period. This means that if the franchisee has violated the terms of the sublease and has not corrected the issue within the time allowed, they may lose their right to extend the sublease.

It is important for prospective Churchs Chicken franchisees to understand these deadlines and conditions to ensure they maintain control of their location and can continue operating their franchise. Failing to meet the notification deadline or being in default of the sublease could result in the franchisee losing their location, which would have significant financial and operational consequences.
