Are there any Ponko Chicken franchises in my preferred location?

Based on 2023 FDD research, Ponko Chicken has franchise locations in 2 states. There could be no locations in several states as each franchise company plans their growth strategy differently. Certain states also require franchise companies to register their franchise opportunity and file their Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) with state examiners prior to selling franchises to people residing in that state. These registration states have examiners review a franchise company's FDD to ensure it complies state regulatory requirements. In addition to registration states, additional states have enforced franchise or business opportunity laws that mandate franchise companies to provide their franchise within the state. In almost all instances the filing is a notice within the state. Unlike franchise registration states, the franchise filing states do not examine the FDD.
