What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one Bhc restaurant open in California at the start of 2024. The FDD provides a table that breaks down the number of Bhc restaurants at the start and end of each year, as well as the number of restaurants opened, reacquired, closed, and sold. This level of detail can help prospective franchisees understand the brand's growth and stability in specific markets.
Specifically, the table shows that in 2023, there were zero Bhc restaurants in California at the start of the year, and one restaurant opened, resulting in one restaurant at the end of 2023. This confirms that the one Bhc restaurant open at the start of 2024 was a company-owned location. By the end of 2024, the total number of Bhc restaurants in California increased to two, with one additional restaurant opening during the year.
It is important to note that the FDD also includes tables that provide information on franchised Bhc restaurants. However, these tables show that there were no franchised Bhc restaurants in California at the start of 2024. This means that the one Bhc restaurant open at the start of 2024 was a company-owned location.
