What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2023, there were a total of 199 Beehive Homes locations. This number reflects a net decrease of 2 locations compared to the 201 locations at the start of the year. All of these homes were franchised, as there were zero company-owned homes reported for 2023.
Specifically, the FDD provides a breakdown of the changes in the number of franchised Beehive Homes locations. Starting with 201 franchised homes at the beginning of 2023, the system experienced some turnover, resulting in 199 franchised homes by the end of the year. This indicates that the number of homes that closed or were otherwise removed from the system exceeded the number of new homes that opened during that period.
Prospective franchisees should note this decrease and inquire about the reasons behind it. Understanding the factors that contributed to the net loss of locations, such as closures or non-renewals, can provide valuable insights into the health and stability of the Beehive Homes franchise system. It would be prudent to investigate the performance of existing locations and the support provided to franchisees to ensure long-term success.
