What is the purpose of the addendum mentioned in the recitals for the Hck Hot Chicken franchise agreement?

According to the 2025 Hck Hot Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, the purpose of the addendum is to amend the terms of the standard franchise agreement to incorporate specific terms relevant to franchisees operating in a non-traditional venue. The recitals section of the Non-Traditional Restaurant Location Addendum states that the addendum is designed to modify the original franchise agreement.

Specifically, the addendum addresses the unique aspects of operating a Hck Hot Chicken restaurant in a non-traditional venue. It notes that the products, services, standards, and specifications may differ from those of a traditional Hck Hot Chicken restaurant. The addendum ensures that the franchise agreement reflects these differences.

For a prospective Hck Hot Chicken franchisee, this means that if they plan to operate in a non-traditional location, such as a food court or transportation hub, the standard franchise agreement will be modified by this addendum. This modification will account for the specific operational and business requirements of such venues, potentially altering obligations related to restaurant standards, product offerings, and other aspects of the franchise agreement. The addendum ensures that the agreement is tailored to the specific circumstances of the non-traditional location.
