Does Bft or its affiliates derive revenue or other consideration from suppliers based on Bft franchisee purchases?

According to Bft's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bft and its affiliates may receive revenue or other consideration from suppliers based on franchisee purchases. This means that Bft could potentially profit from the purchases that franchisees make from approved suppliers.

Bft franchisees may be required to purchase equipment, gear, merchandise, apparel, supplies, and other assets from suppliers that Bft or its affiliates have approved or designated. Bft and its affiliates have the option to collect payments from franchisees for these items and then pay the suppliers directly.

This arrangement allows Bft and its affiliates to potentially benefit financially from the franchisees' required purchases, and they are not restricted in how they use this revenue. This practice is common in franchising, as it allows the franchisor to ensure quality and standardization across all franchise locations while also creating an additional revenue stream for the franchisor.
