Does the estimated initial investment for Bhc include tenant improvement allowances?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated initial investment for a new leasehold improvement does not include tenant improvement allowances. However, the document notes that the estimates included in the table reflect the average deduction provided by landlords for tenant improvements and other allowances.

Bhc franchisees should note that costs may vary depending on factors such as material and labor costs in their area. If a franchisee remodels an existing facility, the remodeling costs are expected to be lower depending on the condition of the premises. The franchisee is responsible for employing a leasehold improvement company, architect, kitchen designer, interior designer, and signage company to complete the restaurant.

Prospective Bhc franchisees should carefully consider these factors and consult with the franchisor to understand the potential costs and allowances associated with their specific location. Understanding the potential for tenant improvement allowances can significantly impact the overall initial investment required.
