What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for the management and supervision of their location. The franchisee, at their own expense, must provide sufficient and proper management, supervisory, and other personnel for the operation of the Home. This must be done in accordance with the manual, Beehive Homes' standards and requirements, and all applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and industry standards.
This obligation means the franchisee is not only responsible for hiring and training staff but also for ensuring they adhere to all operational guidelines set by Beehive Homes and legal requirements. This includes maintaining quality control, providing services that meet Beehive Homes' standards, and using only approved furnishings, equipment, and supplies. The franchisee must also maintain the cleanliness, orderliness, sanitation, and repair of the Home.
Beehive Homes retains the right to inspect the premises to ensure standards are being maintained and can remove non-compliant products (excluding resident's personal belongings). The franchisee's failure to maintain these standards can result in Beehive Homes taking corrective action at the franchisee's expense after providing a 72-hour notice to cure the default. This highlights the importance of franchisees understanding and adhering to the brand's operational standards and legal requirements to avoid potential penalties and maintain the integrity of the Beehive Homes brand.
