What sources does Bb.Q Chicken use to obtain population data?

According to Bb.Q Chicken's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the brand uses the U.S. Census Bureau as a source for population data. This information is relevant when determining the size and scope of a franchisee's designated territory. Bb.Q Chicken considers whether a location is in an urban or suburban setting, with urban areas generally having a density of at least 1,000 persons per square mile.

For a Bb.Q Chicken franchise located in a suburban area, the designated territory will include a minimum of 10,000 people. If the franchise is in an urban area, the territory will include a minimum of 5,000 people. These population minimums are important for franchisees to understand, as they define the potential customer base within their territory.

Bb.Q Chicken also states that as part of the process of granting a successor Franchise Agreement, they have the right to re-evaluate a franchisee's then-existing Designated Territory according to certain demographics, including population, if the Franchised Business is located in a suburban setting. Since a Designated Territory includes a certain minimum population, a Designated Territory under the successor Franchise Agreement will be modified to accommodate shifts and changes in population. The intent is to make the target demographics of a successor Designated Territory similar to the target demographics of the original Designated Territory. A re-evaluation of a Designated Territory may result in a successor Designated Territory being smaller or larger than the original Designated Territory.
