What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if you choose to appoint a manager to oversee the daily operations of your B Bops franchise, you are still required to remain active in the business. Specifically, you must monitor the manager's performance in operating the franchise.
B Bops emphasizes that either you or your appointed manager must devote full-time efforts to the franchise. The manager must meet B Bops's standards and complete the required training course to the company's satisfaction. B Bops retains the right to approve the qualifications of your manager, and this approval will not be unreasonably withheld if the manager meets the company's criteria.
This requirement ensures that franchisees maintain oversight of their investment and uphold B Bops's standards, even when delegating day-to-day responsibilities. Furthermore, whether you or a manager is running the location, that person cannot be involved in any other business that would interfere with the B Bops franchise.
