What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Beehive Homes Franchise Disclosure Document, upon the termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement, a franchisee must cease being a licensed franchisee and adhere to several covenants. Specifically, the franchisee must stop using the Names and Marks, Trade Secrets, and Copyrighted Materials associated with the Beehive Homes brand. This includes refraining from presenting themselves as a Beehive Homes franchisee.
In practical terms, this means a former franchisee can no longer operate under the Beehive Homes name or utilize any of its branding, logos, or proprietary operational methods. They must remove all signs displaying the Beehive Homes name, destroy letterheads, and disconnect telephone numbers listed under the Beehive Homes name. Furthermore, the franchisee is obligated to amend or cancel any assumed name or business name registrations that include any of the Beehive Homes Names or Marks.
To ensure compliance, the franchisee must provide satisfactory evidence of these actions to Beehive Homes within thirty calendar days after termination or expiration. Should the franchisee fail to complete these steps, Beehive Homes is irrevocably appointed as the franchisee's attorney-in-fact to take these actions on their behalf. These measures are in place to protect the Beehive Homes brand and prevent any potential confusion or misrepresentation after a franchise agreement ends.
