If a Churchs Chicken franchisee's governing documents are modified, what action must the franchisee take?

According to Churchs Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee is a corporation, copies of the franchisee's Articles of Incorporation, bylaws, other governing documents and any amendments, including the resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing entry into and performance of this Agreement, and all shareholder must be provided to Churchs Chicken.

This means that if a Churchs Chicken franchisee operates as a corporation or other legal entity, they must keep Churchs Chicken informed of any changes to their organizational documents. This includes sending copies of amended articles of incorporation, bylaws, or partnership agreements. The franchisee must also provide the resolution from their Board of Directors that authorized them to enter into the franchise agreement with Churchs Chicken.

This requirement ensures that Churchs Chicken is aware of any changes in the franchisee's ownership, management, or business purpose. It allows Churchs Chicken to assess whether these changes might affect the franchisee's ability to operate the Churchs Chicken restaurant according to the franchise agreement. Failing to provide these documents could be a breach of the franchise agreement.
