What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees, affiliate franchisees, and subfranchisees are solely responsible for selecting the site for their Bhc Restaurant. However, these site selections are subject to review and acceptance by Bhc. Bhc does not locate sites for franchisees.
Bhc may offer assistance in locating or evaluating a site, but they are under no obligation to do so. If Bhc does provide assistance, they may charge a reasonable fee, including actual costs incurred.
In addition to the Site Review Fee, Bhc also charges a Site Design Review Fee of $2,500, which is due upon submission of the floor plan. Bhc will provide the floor plan after they approve the site that the franchisee selects. This fee is paid to Bhc or a vendor.
