If a Bigfoot Forestry franchisee owns and operates more than three Businesses, what is required?

According to Bigfoot Forestry's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee opens and operates more than three Bigfoot Forestry businesses, they must hire a Project Manager. This Project Manager is responsible for managing at least one, but no more than three, of the franchisee's Bigfoot Forestry businesses. The Managing Owner, along with each Project Manager, can manage a maximum of three Bigfoot Forestry Businesses.

For every three additional Bigfoot Forestry businesses the franchisee opens, they must hire an additional Project Manager. Each Project Manager hired must meet all the criteria and conditions outlined in the most recent Franchise Agreement executed by the franchisee. This ensures that each business receives adequate management and supervision, maintaining the standards of the Bigfoot Forestry franchise system.

This requirement ensures that as a franchisee expands their operations, they maintain adequate oversight and management of each location. By limiting the number of territories a single manager can oversee, Bigfoot Forestry aims to prevent any decline in service quality or operational efficiency as a franchisee grows. The cost of hiring additional project managers should be factored into the franchisee's business plan when considering multi-unit ownership.
