ningfully estimate.
- (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. The Affiliate Franchisee must, at the Affiliate Franchisee's expense, employ a leasehold improvement company, architect, kitchen designer, interior designer, and signage company reasonably acceptable to us as may be necessary to complete, adapt, or modify the sample plans and specifications for the Affiliate Franchisee's Franchised BHC Restaurant.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several factors can influence the leasehold improvement and remodeling costs for a Bhc restaurant. These costs, which include expenses for floor coverings, wall treatments, counters, ceilings, painting, window coverings, electrical work, carpentry, and contractor's fees, are significantly affected by the condition, location, and size of the site. The demand for the site among prospective lessees also plays a role, as does the site's previous use and the extent of build-out required to conform it to Bhc's standards. Any leasehold improvement allowances granted by the landlord can also reduce these costs.
The FDD notes that costs may vary considerably depending on material and labor costs in the franchisee's area. The document provides estimates for new leasehold improvements but does not include tenant improvement allowances. If a franchisee remodels an existing facility, the remodeling costs are expected to be lower, depending on the condition of the premises. The document also mentions that the estimates included reflect the average deduction provided by landlords for tenant improvements and other allowances.
Bhc requires franchisees to employ a leasehold improvement company, architect, kitchen designer, interior designer, and signage company, all reasonably acceptable to Bhc, to complete or modify the plans for the franchised restaurant. The document specifies that a Bhc Restaurant occupies about 1,500 to 3,500 square feet of space, and rent depends on geographic location, size, local rental rates, businesses in the area, site profile, and other factors. The FDD also notes that costs could be considerably higher in large metropolitan areas than in more suburban or small-town areas. Bhc Restaurants can be located in various venues, including strip shopping centers, shopping malls, and free-standing units.
