If Bhc decides to use a public figure, will the franchisees be notified?

According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bhc does not currently pay or provide any benefits to public figures to promote franchise sales. This means that as of the FDD date, Bhc is not using public figures for promotional purposes related to franchise recruitment.

However, the FDD does not state whether Bhc would notify franchisees if they decide to use a public figure in the future. The document does outline Bhc's rights regarding marketing and promotion, stating that Bhc will expend marketing and promotion fees collected from franchisees on campaigns designed to promote the value of the marks and general public recognition. These activities can occur at the national, regional, or local level, and the franchisee may request a statement of receipts and expenditures of these fees.

While the FDD details how marketing and promotion fees are used and reported, it does not explicitly address the scenario of using public figures or the process for informing franchisees about such campaigns. A prospective franchisee should clarify with Bhc what their policy is on using public figures for promotion and how franchisees will be informed or involved in such decisions.
