-
- The Company will conduct a pre-opening inspection to confirm that the Franchise premises has been constructed in accordance with the site specific plans and specifications. (Section 5 of the Franchise Agreement)
Start-Up Period. The Company estimates that the approximate length of time between payment of the deposit and opening of the Franchise (assuming your application is approved) will be six (6) to twelve (12) months, and between execution of the Franchise Agreement and opening of the Franchise will be four (4) to nine (9) months, assuming in both cases that you promptly commence construction of the Franchise premises. The length of the start-up period is subject to variation, however, and the Company is consequently unable to provide any assurance that the Franchise will be open for business within the estimated period. Numerous factors affect the length of the start-up period, including, without limitation, the ability to locate and secure a satisfactory site through lease or purchase, obtaining acceptable financing, construction of the Franchise premises, obtaining building permits, complying with zoning and local ordinances and
delivery and installation of equipment, fixtures and signage. The Franchise premises is subject to inspection and approval by the Company prior to the commencement of operations. In the event the Company determines that construction of the Franchise premises has not proceeded in accordance with the Company's plans and specifications, the Company is entitled to delay the opening of the Franchise until such time as you have made the necessary corrections at your expense.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 B Bops Franchise Disclosure Document, prior to the opening of a franchise, B Bops conducts a pre-opening inspection to confirm that the franchise premises has been constructed according to the site-specific plans and specifications.
This inspection is a crucial step in ensuring that the new B Bops location meets the brand's standards and is set up for successful operation. If the company determines that the construction has not followed their plans and specifications, they can delay the franchise opening until the franchisee makes the necessary corrections at their own expense.
This requirement places the onus on the franchisee to ensure strict adherence to B Bops' construction guidelines. Franchisees should pay close attention to all provided plans and specifications during the construction phase to avoid potential delays and additional costs associated with correcting any discrepancies identified during the pre-opening inspection.
