What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees must pay Bhc for the site design review fee. The site design review fee is $2,500. Franchisees are also responsible for a separate site review fee of $2,000 to $4,000.
This means that before opening a Bhc franchise, franchisees will incur costs for both the site design review and a separate site review. The site design review fee is a fixed cost, while the site review fee can vary. These fees are in addition to other expenses franchisees will incur, such as employing architects, designers, and engineers to adapt the prototype plans to the specific location.
Prospective franchisees should factor these fees into their initial investment calculations. Understanding the fixed and variable components of these fees will help in budgeting and financial planning. It is also important to note that these fees are non-refundable, regardless of whether the site is ultimately approved.
