What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Churchs Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit G contains a copy of the standard Development Agreement. This agreement is required regardless of the number of restaurants a franchisee commits to develop.
The Development Agreement grants the franchisee the right and responsibility to develop a specific number of Churchs Chicken restaurants within a defined geographic area, known as the Development Area. In some cases, an amendment to the Development Agreement, included as Exhibit H, may provide limited exclusivity for the Development Area.
The Development Agreement also outlines the number of restaurants the franchisee must open and operate, along with the specific dates by which these restaurants must be operational. This schedule is referred to as the Development Schedule and is part of the Development Agreement. Therefore, a prospective franchisee should carefully review Exhibit G to understand their development obligations, including the number of restaurants, the development timeline, and the geographic area covered.
