What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one franchised Bhc restaurant operating at the end of 2024. The FDD provides a system-wide BHC restaurant summary that details the number of franchised, company-owned, and total Bhc restaurants from 2022 to 2024. In 2024, the number of franchised restaurants increased from zero at the start of the year to one at the end of the year.
Additionally, the FDD includes a table that breaks down the status of Bhc restaurants franchised by state. Specifically for California, the number of franchised Bhc restaurants went from zero at the beginning of 2024 to one at the end of 2024. This aligns with the system-wide summary, indicating that the single franchised location was in California.
Prospective franchisees should note that Bhc is a relatively new franchise system, with no franchised locations prior to 2024. This could present both opportunities and risks. The limited operating history means there is less data available to evaluate the potential success of a franchise. However, it also means that franchisees have the chance to be early adopters and shape the growth of the brand.
