What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bhc's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2024, there was a total of one Bhc restaurant. This total includes both franchised and company-owned restaurants. Specifically, there were zero franchised Bhc restaurants and one company-owned Bhc restaurant at the beginning of 2024.
In 2024, Bhc added one franchised and one company-owned restaurant, bringing the total to three restaurants by the end of the year. This indicates a growth in the number of Bhc restaurants during that year.
Prospective franchisees should note the relatively small number of existing Bhc restaurants. This could represent both an opportunity to enter a growing system and a risk associated with a less established brand. Further due diligence, including direct communication with Bhc about their growth plans and support for new franchisees, is advisable.
