Is the Bft Franchisor held to the same standards for studio replacement and renovation as its franchisees?

According to the 2025 Bft Franchise Disclosure Document, Bft and its affiliates who own Bft studios will hold themselves, and the studios they operate, to the same standards and frequency for replacement and renovation as is required of franchisees.

This means that Bft franchisees are not alone in bearing the responsibility for keeping their studios up-to-date. The franchisor-owned locations are expected to adhere to the same standards, which could help ensure consistency across the Bft brand and potentially increase customer confidence.

For a prospective franchisee, this parity could be seen as a positive. It suggests that Bft is invested in maintaining the brand's image across all locations, not just those owned by franchisees. However, franchisees should still be prepared for the costs associated with these renovations, as they are responsible for covering these expenses for their own studios.
