- (3) Leasehold improvement / Remodeling. Leasehold improvement / remodeling costs, including floor coverings, wall treatments, counters, ceilings, painting, window coverings, electrical, carpentry, and similar work, and contractor's fees depend on the site's condition, location, and size; the demand for the site among prospective lessees; the site's previous use; the build-out required to conform the site for the Affiliate Franchisee's Franchised BHC Restaurant; and any leasehold improvement or other allowances the landlord grants. The lower figure assumes that the Affiliate Franchisee has a unique real estate model; the higher figure assumes a high square footage model. The estimates included in the table above reflect the average deduction provided by landlords for tenant improvements and other allowances. These figures presume that the Affiliate Franchisee will lease the Master Franchised BHC Restaurant premises; if the Affiliate Franchisee choose to purchase the land or building, the Affiliate Franchisee will incur substantial additional costs and expenses, which we cannot meaningfully estimate. Costs may vary considerably depending on such factors as material and labor costs in your area. These estimates are for new leasehold improvement and do not include tenant improvement allowances, if any. If the Affiliate Franchisee remodels an existing facility, we expect the Affiliate Franchisee's remodeling costs to be lower depending on the condition of the premises.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several factors can significantly influence the leasehold improvement and remodeling costs for a Bhc restaurant. These costs, which include expenses for floor coverings, wall treatments, counters, ceilings, painting, electrical work, carpentry, and contractor's fees, are subject to variability based on the site's condition, location, and size. The demand for the site among potential lessees also plays a role, as does the site's previous use and the build-out required to conform the site to Bhc's standards. Any leasehold improvement allowances granted by the landlord can also affect these costs.
The document notes that costs may vary considerably depending on material and labor costs in the franchisee's area. The estimates provided are for new leasehold improvements and do not include tenant improvement allowances. However, if a franchisee remodels an existing facility, the remodeling costs are expected to be lower, depending on the condition of the premises. The FDD specifies that the estimates included reflect the average deduction provided by landlords for tenant improvements and other allowances.
Bhc restaurants typically occupy between 1,500 to 3,500 square feet of space, and rent can vary based on geographic location, size, local rental rates, businesses in the area, and site profile. Bhc restaurants can be situated in various locations, including strip shopping centers, shopping malls, free-standing units, and other commercial and residential areas. The FDD anticipates that franchisees will typically rent the restaurant premises, but if a franchisee chooses to purchase the land or building, they will incur substantial additional costs that cannot be meaningfully estimated.
