If Bhc decides to use a public figure, will the franchisees have to hire additional staff?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the document does not explicitly state whether franchisees would need to hire additional staff if Bhc uses a public figure for promotion. However, the FDD does state that franchisees must maintain a staff of trained employees sufficient to operate the Master Franchise Business in compliance with Bhc's required standards and specifications.

Item 18 states that Bhc does not currently pay or provide any benefits to a public figure to promote the sale of Bhc franchises.

To gain clarity on potential staffing requirements related to promotional activities involving public figures, prospective franchisees should directly ask Bhc about any anticipated changes to operational standards or staffing needs in such scenarios. This inquiry should clarify whether the use of a public figure would necessitate hiring additional personnel to manage increased customer volume, marketing efforts, or other related tasks.
