What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Hck Hot Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, certain sections of the standard Franchise Agreement do not apply to Non-Traditional Restaurants. Specifically, the Non-Traditional Restaurant Location Addendum modifies the original agreement.
The sections that are not applicable to Hck Hot Chicken Non-Traditional Restaurants are Sections 2.3, 8.3.1, 8.3.3, 9.3.2, 9.4.1, 11.8, 12.1.2, 12.2.1, 13.2.3(f) and 13.2.3(i) of the Franchise Agreement. Additionally, the final reference in Section 9.7.2, as used in the definitions of "Competitive Activities," "Crisis Management Event," "Restaurant," "System" and "Traditional Restaurant" in Appendix 1 to the Franchise Agreement, is not applicable. Instead of the term "Restaurant", the term "Non-Traditional Restaurant" should be used.
This means that franchisees operating a Non-Traditional Hck Hot Chicken restaurant will have different obligations and standards than those operating a traditional restaurant. Franchisees should carefully review the Non-Traditional Restaurant Location Addendum to understand how it modifies the original Franchise Agreement and what specific requirements and exceptions apply to their location. This ensures that the franchisee is compliant with the terms of their franchise agreement.
