What are the uniformity standards of Beehive Homes?
Beehive_Homes Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
YOU will be required to build YOUR Bee Hive Home in accordance with architectural and design specifications provided by US. These specifications will be determined generally by the trade dress and uniformity standards of the franchise and specifically by the unique location chosen by YOU. These specifications will be provided to YOU after YOU sign the Franchise Agreement.
YOU have no obligation to purchase or lease goods, services, supplies, fixtures, equipment, inventory, computer hardware and software, real estate, or comparable items related to establishing or operating the franchised business either from US, OUR designee, or suppliers approved by US.
For certain items of furniture, fixtures and equipment, and supplies and materials, WE may provide you with specifications which may include minimum standards for performance, warranties, design, appearance and other restrictions. YOU may purchase items which meet specifications from any source. Specifications are provided to YOU after signing the Franchise Agreement and are found in OUR Owner/Operator Training Outline. WE currently do not
maintain a list of approved suppliers and do not maintain criteria for approving suppliers of the items listed in this paragraph. Any supplier which is able to provide these items meeting OUR specifications is, in effect, an approved supplier. YOU may determine which suppliers meet OUR specifications without OUR prior approval. However, any determination by YOU is subject to OUR review.
All advertising used by YOU must be approved in advance by US for conformity with the trade dress standards of Bee Hive Homes.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must adhere to specific uniformity standards to maintain the brand's identity and quality. Franchisees are required to construct their Beehive Homes according to architectural and design specifications provided by Beehive Homes. These specifications are influenced by the trade dress and uniformity standards of the franchise, as well as the location of the Beehive Homes facility. These specifications are given to the franchisee after the Franchise Agreement is signed.
Beehive Homes may provide franchisees with specifications for certain furniture, fixtures, equipment, supplies, and materials, including minimum standards for performance, warranties, design, and appearance. Franchisees can purchase items meeting these specifications from any source, and Beehive Homes does not maintain a list of approved suppliers. However, Beehive Homes retains the right to review the franchisee's supplier choices to ensure compliance with their standards. All advertising used by the franchisee must be pre-approved by Beehive Homes to ensure it aligns with the brand's trade dress standards.
To ensure quality control, Beehive Homes or its representatives can inspect the premises to verify that the standards are being maintained. Franchisees must use furnishings, equipment, and supplies that comply with Beehive Homes' specifications. Franchisees are also responsible for maintaining the interior and exterior of the Home in a clean, orderly, and sanitary condition, adhering to Beehive Homes' standards. Beehive Homes will provide general architectural and design drawings, which may include elevations, floor plans and number of beds, as guidelines for the required "trade dress" of the Home. Any variation, alteration or modification of these guidelines shall require the prior written approval of Franchisor. Franchisor will also provide an itemization of all furnishings, equipment and supplies to be used in the operation of the Home.
