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.

Costs may vary considerably depending on such factors as material and labor costs in your area.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if an Affiliate Franchisee has a unique real estate model, the leasehold improvement or remodeling costs could be lower. The FDD states that the lower end of the estimated leasehold improvement/remodeling costs assumes the Affiliate Franchisee has a unique real estate model. The costs associated with leasehold improvements or remodeling depend on factors such as the site's condition, location, size, demand, previous use, the build-out required to conform the site for a Bhc restaurant, and any leasehold improvement allowances granted by the landlord.
Remodeling costs are expected to be lower if an existing facility is remodeled, depending on the condition of the premises. These costs encompass various elements, including floor coverings, wall treatments, counters, ceilings, painting, window coverings, electrical work, carpentry, and contractor's fees. The document also notes that costs may vary considerably based on material and labor costs in the Affiliate Franchisee's area.
Prospective franchisees should consider these factors and consult with Bhc to understand how their specific real estate model might impact the overall investment. Understanding the potential for lower remodeling costs with a unique real estate model can help in financial planning and site selection.
