What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Hck Hot Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, specifically Exhibit I-8, the Non-Traditional Restaurant Location Addendum to Franchise Agreement, the 'Franchisee' is identified as the franchisee listed on the signature page of the addendum. This addendum is an agreement between Hot Chikn Kitchn LLC, the franchisor, and the franchisee.
This means that the individual or entity that signs the Non-Traditional Restaurant Location Addendum as the 'Franchisee' is the party who will operate the Hck Hot Chicken franchise in the non-traditional venue. This addendum modifies the original franchise agreement to account for the specific conditions and requirements of operating in a non-traditional location.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review the entire addendum and ensure they understand their obligations and rights as a franchisee in a non-traditional setting. This includes understanding how the terms of the original franchise agreement are modified by the addendum and how the operation of a non-traditional restaurant may differ from a traditional Hck Hot Chicken restaurant.
