Who is responsible for installing utility meters in the premises for a Churchs Chicken location, if required?

According to Churchs Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the sublessee, who in this case is the franchisee, is responsible for installing utility meters on the premises. This is only if the utility service providers require it.

This means that as a Churchs Chicken franchisee, you will need to arrange for the installation of utility meters if the utility companies mandate it for your specific location. This responsibility falls under the broader category of managing and maintaining the utilities for your restaurant.

It is important for prospective franchisees to factor in these potential costs when evaluating the overall investment required to set up and operate a Churchs Chicken franchise. Understanding these obligations upfront helps in budgeting and planning for the operational aspects of the business.
