What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Churchs Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, Churchs Chicken places minimal restrictions on the customers to whom a franchisee may sell. Franchisees can sell to any customer they choose.
Churchs Chicken does require that franchisees only sell approved products and menu items from the Restaurant location itself, unless they receive prior written approval to sell elsewhere. Franchisees also have the freedom to set their own prices, as Churchs Chicken does not mandate or enforce any specific sales prices.
This policy provides Churchs Chicken franchisees with flexibility in serving a wide customer base. However, franchisees must adhere to the brand's standards by only selling approved menu items and operating solely from the designated Restaurant location without explicit consent to operate elsewhere. This ensures consistency and quality across all Churchs Chicken locations while allowing franchisees to adapt their sales strategies to their local market.
