Every year, thousands of people who are thinking about opening a chicken franchise end up doing so because they know it’s a smart way to do business. The franchise model has numerous advantages over starting a business from scratch, and one of them is transparency; investors can look forward to a franchisor providing thorough and vetted information about what their investment looks like. One of the ways they do so is by sharing their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
An FDD is an important document required by law and covers everything you need to know about a brand: including its history and key players. We want you to be as well-informed as possible before making a Golden Chick investment, and a careful review of our FDD will help. Here, we’ll take a closer look at the role an FDD plays and some of the topics it will discuss.

Take Your Time to Review your Franchise Disclosure Document
Before anything, be sure to set aside plenty of time to review our FDD. It contains a lot of validated information that’ll help you make an educated decision about your investment with us. Often, our potential franchisees go over our FDD with their attorneys, and beyond that, one of our franchise experts will be on hand to review the FDD item by item to make sure you understand and to answer any questions you might have.
What Does an Investment in Golden Chick Look Like?
As an investor, the information you’ll most likely be interested in first is the cost of opening a chicken restaurant franchise with Golden Chick. Our FDD fully lays those numbers out.
