What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2024, there were a total of 201 homes operating. This total includes both franchised and company-owned locations. Specifically, there were 201 franchised homes and zero company-owned homes.
This information is crucial for potential franchisees as it provides a snapshot of the brand's current market presence. The number of operating homes can indicate the maturity and stability of the franchise system. A higher number of operating units often suggests a more established brand with proven operational models.
For a prospective Beehive Homes franchisee, the fact that all locations are franchised as of the end of 2024 may suggest that the company is focused on expanding through franchising rather than investing in company-owned operations. This could mean that Beehive Homes is committed to supporting its franchisees, but it also means that the franchisee will not be competing with company-owned locations.
