What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Churchs Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were no outlets sold to franchisees in Alabama during 2023. The provided table regarding outlets and franchisee information shows that in 2023, in Alabama, the number of outlets sold to franchisees was 0.
This indicates that Churchs Chicken did not transfer any existing company-owned or franchised locations to new franchisees in Alabama during that year. A prospective franchisee looking to acquire an existing Churchs Chicken location in Alabama would not have had the opportunity to do so directly from the franchisor during 2023, based on this data.
It is important to note that this information pertains specifically to sales facilitated directly by Churchs Chicken. It does not account for any private sales or transfers of franchises between existing franchisees, which would not be reflected in this particular table. Therefore, while the FDD indicates no sales to franchisees occurred directly, other avenues for acquiring a franchise may have existed.
