Is the deposit required for a B Bops franchise if I already own a franchise?

According to the 2025 B Bops Franchise Disclosure Document, if you already own a B Bops franchise, you are not required to pay the deposit. The document specifies that the payment of the deposit, typically $5,000 upon submission of the Application Agreement, is waived for existing franchisees. This is a notable benefit for individuals looking to expand their investment within the B Bops franchise system.

This policy is fairly common in franchising, as franchisors often incentivize existing, successful franchisees to open additional locations. Waiving the deposit reduces the initial financial burden and streamlines the process for those already committed to the brand. It reflects a level of trust and proven performance between the franchisee and B Bops.

However, it's important to note that while the deposit may be waived, the initial franchise fee still applies. The initial franchise fee is $30,000 for the first franchise purchased, but it is reduced to $20,000 for each additional franchise. The $2,500 credit is allowed for the deposit paid under the Application Agreement. Prospective franchisees should carefully review Item 5 of the FDD for complete details on all fees and payment terms.
