What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisee is responsible for the expense of posting and maintaining minimum signage at the franchised location. Specifically, the franchisee must post and maintain any minimum signage recommended by Bhc entirely at the franchisee's expense, provided it complies with applicable governmental ordinances, regulations, and statutes.
Bhc requires that any signage containing the brand's marks be designed by a vendor that Bhc designates. The signage must also be manufactured by a vendor that Bhc designates or approves. This ensures brand consistency across all franchise locations.
This requirement means that a Bhc franchisee will need to budget for the costs associated with signage, including design and manufacturing expenses from approved vendors. While Bhc maintains control over the design and vendor selection, the financial burden of these signs falls on the franchisee.
