What training requirements must Churchs Chicken franchisees and their employees meet to be eligible for franchise renewal?

According to Churchs Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, to be eligible for franchise renewal, a franchisee and their employees must comply with the franchisor's current training requirements. This includes meeting all continuing education certificate requirements at the time of renewal. This is one of several conditions that must be met to renew the franchise agreement.

In addition to meeting the training requirements, the franchisee must not be in default of the franchise agreement or any other agreements with Churchs Chicken or its affiliates. This includes any real estate, equipment leases, or financing instruments related to the franchised restaurant, as well as obligations to vendors or suppliers. The franchisee must also renovate and modernize the restaurant to meet the current image standards for new Churchs Chicken restaurants, covering interior and exterior designs, décor, and equipment.

Furthermore, the franchisee must have the right to remain in possession of the franchised location for the renewal term, and all monetary obligations to the landlord or mortgagor must be current. Meeting all these conditions ensures that the franchisee is operating the business in accordance with Churchs Chicken's standards and is financially stable, making them eligible for renewal.
