What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Churchs Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Grand Opening Advertising Campaign for a new restaurant begins no earlier than the restaurant's opening date and concludes no later than 90 days after the restaurant opens. This campaign utilizes Grand Opening Advertising Funds.
This means that Churchs Chicken franchisees can expect advertising support around the launch of their new location. The advertising campaign is designed to generate initial buzz and attract customers to the new restaurant. The funds for this campaign are specifically earmarked for advertising purposes, ensuring that they are used to promote the new location.
However, franchisees should note that the timing of the campaign is tied to the actual opening date of the restaurant, which can be subject to delays due to various factors such as construction, permitting, and other unforeseen issues. Franchisees should carefully plan their grand opening events and advertising strategies in coordination with Churchs Chicken to maximize the impact of the campaign within the specified timeframe.
