- The Company will provide additional training to you or your employees. A fee of up to $2,000 may be charged by the Company for such additional training. (Section 11(E) of the Franchise Agreement)
If, during the term of Franchise, you request a refresher training course, the Company will provide such training upon the payment of a fee not to exceed $2,000. The material to be covered in a refresher training course will depend on your needs as expressed to the Company. In addition, if you hire a new manager during the term of the Franchise, the Company will provide an initial training course for such manager, upon payment of a fee not to exceed $2,000. Such training course will be structured in the same manner and cover the same material as the training course provided prior to the opening of the Franchise as described above. You will, in either event, be responsible for paying all compensation, travel, lodging and other expenses incurred while participating in either a refresher-training course or an initial training course for a new manager.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, B Bops can charge franchisees for additional training provided to them or their employees. Specifically, B Bops may charge a fee of up to $2,000 for additional training.
Furthermore, if a franchisee requests a refresher training course during the term of the franchise, B Bops will provide such training upon payment of a fee not to exceed $2,000. The content of the refresher training will depend on the franchisee's expressed needs. Similarly, if a franchisee hires a new manager during the franchise term, B Bops will provide an initial training course for the new manager, also for a fee not to exceed $2,000. This training will mirror the initial training provided before the franchise opened.
In both the refresher training and the new manager training scenarios, the franchisee is responsible for covering all compensation, travel, lodging, and other expenses incurred while participating in the training. This means that in addition to the training fees charged by B Bops, franchisees must also budget for these additional costs when planning for ongoing training needs.
