## A young, compact chicken system

375° Chicken 'n Fries is a New York, New York, chicken-and-fries concept that
began franchising in 2023. The founding year is not in this dataset. The FDD
issued 30 April 2024, dataset year 2024, records five outlets at the end of
2023: three company-owned and two franchised. That is a small population with
a short franchise history, so later growth on the operator's
[current location page](https://www.375chicken.com/locations) should not be
backfilled into this dated Item 20 row.

The format is comparatively compact. Item 7 covers 800 to 1,500 square feet and
an investment of $324,100 to $521,500. The filing describes a made-to-order
chicken concept; any current sales claim would be marketing context rather than
a substitute for the 2024 disclosure values used here. Grand opening
advertising is $10,000. Working capital in the line-item table is three months.

## What the filing makes comparable

The initial franchise fee is $40,000. The fee stack is 8%: a 6% royalty, 1%
brand fund and 1% local advertising. The royalty footnote literally reads
“five percent (6%).” This directory uses 6% because that is the figure in the
Item 6 table and preserves the conflict as a reason to ask for clarification,
not an invitation to average the two numbers.

Item 19 is an unaudited income statement for the affiliate operating the
restaurants, covering 2020 through 2023. The note on file states 2023 results
across two corporate shops. That is an affiliate sample, not a franchisee
average, margin or forecast.

Training is disclosed as 23 classroom hours and 67 on the job. The territory is
a specific approved location rather than an exclusive surrounding area, sized
case by case and not exclusive. The ten-year initial term has two additional
ten-year terms. Transfer fee is 50% of the then-current franchise fee.
Together, those terms make 375° a useful small-format chicken peer, while its
limited 2023 outlet population remains the main comparability constraint.

## Who it is not

375° is not Mad for Chicken's 2,000–4,000-square-foot Korean fried-chicken
restaurant, not a 19-unit system, not a long franchise history, and not a
protected-area grant. It is the compact, two-franchised-unit side of
[chicken and fries](/chicken-and-fries/) and
[375° versus Mad for Chicken](/compare/375-chicken-vs-mad-for-chicken/), and
one of the four headline counts in
[emerging versus established](/emerging-vs-established/). Source: FDD issued
30 April 2024; dataset year 2024.

## What to request next

Obtain the current FDD. Ask for clarification of the royalty footnote that
reads “five percent (6%)”; this desk uses 6% from the Item 6 table. Write
down Item 19 as an unaudited affiliate income statement covering 2020–2023,
with 2023 results stated across two corporate shops — not a franchisee
average. Item 20 is five outlets at year-end 2023 (three company, two
franchised); later locator counts do not replace that snapshot. Item 7 is
$324,100–$521,500 for 800–1,500 square feet. Stack is 8%. Training is 23
classroom and 67 on the job. Territory is a specific location, not exclusive.
Term is ten years with two additional ten-year terms.

375° is a compact chicken-and-fries peer. It is not Mad for Chicken's dining
room. Founding year is blank in this dataset; franchising since 2023 is the
date that is on file. Do not infer a founding year from the franchise program
or from the affiliate income statement's 2020 start. Those are different
facts. Call the two franchisees on the 2023 list if they remain on the
current Item 20 roster, and call former franchisees if any appear.
