What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Developer is granted the exclusive right to develop B Bops Restaurants within a specific Trade Area, provided they comply with the terms and conditions outlined in the Development Agreement. This includes adhering to the Development Schedule, which specifies the timeline for establishing restaurants in the designated area. The Developer must also develop, construct, and open B Bops Restaurants for business according to this schedule.
Before commencing construction, the Developer must submit a proposed site for each B Bops Restaurant to B Bops for approval. B Bops will review the submitted materials and notify the Developer of its decision within thirty days. The approval of a site does not guarantee success, and the Developer assumes all risks associated with the location. The Developer cannot enter into any binding agreements to lease or purchase a site until B Bops provides written approval.
Upon site approval, B Bops will grant the Developer the right to own and operate a B Bops Restaurant at the approved location, assuming the Developer is compliant with the Development Agreement and all Unit Franchise Agreements. A Unit Franchise Agreement, the standard franchise agreement used by B Bops at the time of development, will be forwarded to the Developer for execution. The Developer must execute and return this agreement, along with the initial franchise fee, within twenty days. Failure to do so will render the site approval null and void.
The Unit Franchise Agreement governs the franchise relationship for each unit, except where its terms conflict with the Development Agreement, in which case the Development Agreement prevails. Even after the Development Agreement expires or terminates, the Unit Franchise Agreements remain in effect. The Developer is also subject to non-compete covenants during the term of the agreement and for two years following its termination, preventing them from engaging in similar businesses within the Trade Area or a twenty-mile radius of any B Bops Restaurant.
