What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the construction costs for a B Bops restaurant, including site work, range from $700,000 to $1,800,000. These costs are paid as agreed upon with the contractor and subcontractors prior to the restaurant opening. This figure is part of the overall estimated initial investment of $1,128,200 to $2,514,200, which excludes the developmental fee, if applicable, and real estate costs.
The FDD specifies that the cost of construction can vary significantly based on several factors. These include the condition of the real estate, such as whether there are existing structures that need to be demolished, local labor costs, local building codes and requirements, and whether indoor seating is required. B Bops allows franchisees to select their own contractor for the construction services.
Prospective franchisees should carefully consider these variables and obtain detailed, site-specific estimates to accurately assess their potential construction expenses. It is important to note that the real estate costs are separate and cannot be accurately estimated by B Bops due to variations in local property values. Therefore, franchisees need to conduct thorough due diligence to determine the actual costs for their specific location.
