What is the deadline for a Bhc franchisee to submit a local advertising plan to the franchisor for approval?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must submit a local advertising plan to Bhc for approval. This plan should detail the local advertising activities planned for the next 12-month period. The FDD does not specify a particular deadline for submitting this plan, only that it must be done for Franchisor's approval.

This means that while Bhc requires franchisees to engage in local advertising and submit a plan for approval, the exact timing of when this plan needs to be submitted is not explicitly defined in this document. The franchisee is required to spend at least 1% of their annual gross revenues on local advertising, commencing with the third full calendar month after the opening date.

Given the lack of a specific deadline, it is important for prospective franchisees to clarify with Bhc the exact timing and frequency for submitting the local advertising plan to ensure compliance with their requirements. Understanding the approval process and any associated timelines will be crucial for franchisees to effectively manage their local advertising efforts and maintain a good standing with the franchisor.
