For Bb.Q Chicken, what entities are included in Cooperatives?

According to the 2025 Bb.Q Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, Cooperatives will include all Bb.Q Chicken Restaurants and Food Trucks in a specific geographic area. This includes those owned by Bb.Q Chicken itself, as well as those owned by its franchisees. Each Restaurant or Food Truck has one vote in the cooperative. As of the date of the Franchise Disclosure Document, no Cooperatives have been established.

For a prospective franchisee, this means that if Cooperatives are established in the future, they will automatically be included. They will have an equal vote with other Bb.Q Chicken locations in their area, regardless of whether those locations are franchised or company-owned. This could provide a platform for collective decision-making and potentially influence regional marketing or operational strategies.

However, since no cooperatives currently exist, it's important for potential franchisees to inquire about Bb.Q Chicken's plans for establishing them, the criteria for designated geographic areas, and the types of decisions that these cooperatives would be involved in. Understanding the potential benefits and obligations associated with cooperative membership will be crucial for franchisees as the system evolves.
