What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Master Franchisee who wishes to relocate a Bhc restaurant must submit a written request to the Franchisor for consent to relocate. This request must be made no less than 90 days prior to the desired date of relocation. However, if prior notice is impractical due to a required relocation, the Master Franchisee must provide notice as soon as possible.
The written request must include a description of the reasons for the relocation. Additionally, the Master Franchisee must provide complete written details respecting any proposed new location. This ensures that Bhc has sufficient information to evaluate the suitability of the new location and the rationale behind the move.
Bhc will then review the request and either approve or disapprove the relocation in writing within 20 business days of receiving the Master Franchisee's request. If Bhc disapproves of the proposed relocation, the Master Franchisee can request approval for an alternative new location, again following the same notification and documentation procedures.
