What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beehive Homes' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bee Hive Homes of Utah, Inc. did offer franchises. The document outlines a reorganization in October 1996 where Bee Hive Homes of America, Inc. licensed its franchise business to several entities, including Bee Hive Homes of Utah, Inc., specifically for the area including the State of Utah and Clark County, Nevada. This indicates that Bee Hive Homes of Utah, Inc. was indeed involved in offering franchises within its designated territory.
However, the FDD also indicates that Bee Hive Homes of Utah, Inc. was later merged into Bee Hive Homes Intermountain, Inc. on January 1, 2020. At that time, Bee Hive Homes Intermountain, Inc. changed its name to Bee Hive Homes, Inc. This implies that Bee Hive Homes of Utah, Inc. no longer exists as a separate entity offering franchises, as its operations and rights were absorbed into the newly named Bee Hive Homes, Inc.
Therefore, while Bee Hive Homes of Utah, Inc. did offer franchises in the past, it is no longer the entity offering franchises according to the 2025 FDD. The current franchisor is Bee Hive Homes, Inc., which assumed the franchising responsibilities after the merger and name change. A prospective franchisee interested in operating in Utah or Clark County, Nevada, would now deal directly with Bee Hive Homes, Inc.
