What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, cooperatives will include all Bb.Q Chicken Restaurants and Food Trucks in a specific geographic area. This encompasses those owned both by Bb.Q Chicken itself and by its franchisees. Each Restaurant or Food Truck, regardless of ownership, has one vote within the cooperative. As of the date of the FDD, no cooperatives have been established.
This means that if Bb.Q Chicken establishes cooperatives in the future, all franchisees within a designated area will automatically become members. These cooperatives could address regional marketing, purchasing, or operational strategies. The allocation of one vote per location ensures that individual franchisees have a voice, regardless of whether Bb.Q Chicken also owns locations in the same area.
Since no cooperatives currently exist, prospective franchisees should inquire with Bb.Q Chicken about the criteria for establishing a cooperative, the scope of their activities, and the potential costs or benefits of participating. Understanding the structure and function of future cooperatives will be crucial for franchisees as they could influence local business operations and marketing efforts.
