What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Beehive Homes may provide franchisees with specifications for certain items of furniture, fixtures, equipment, supplies, and materials. These specifications can include minimum standards for performance, warranties, design, appearance, and other restrictions. Franchisees are allowed to purchase items that meet these specifications from any source.
These specifications are provided to the franchisee after signing the Franchise Agreement and can be found in the Beehive Homes Owner/Operator Training Outline. Beehive Homes does not maintain a list of approved suppliers or criteria for approving suppliers. Essentially, any supplier that can provide items meeting Beehive Homes' specifications is considered an approved supplier.
The franchisee is responsible for determining which suppliers meet Beehive Homes' specifications without needing prior approval from Beehive Homes. However, Beehive Homes retains the right to review the franchisee's determination. This means that while franchisees have the freedom to choose their suppliers, Beehive Homes can still ensure that the chosen items align with their standards and requirements.
