What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bee Organized's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2023, there were a total of 13 Bee Organized outlets. This number includes both franchised and company-owned outlets. Specifically, there were 12 franchised outlets and 1 company-owned outlet at the beginning of 2023.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the size and composition of the Bee Organized system at that time. It's important to note the relative proportion of franchised versus company-owned stores, as this can reflect the franchisor's strategy and priorities. A higher number of franchised locations might suggest a greater focus on expansion through franchising, while a significant number of company-owned stores could indicate a desire to maintain control and direct involvement in operations.
