What is the duration of the opening assistance provided by B Bops prior to the franchise opening?

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, as part of the initial franchise fee, B Bops provides opening assistance for a period of between three and five days prior to the franchise opening. B Bops also provides assistance for a period of four to six days immediately following the opening of the franchise. However, the franchisee is responsible for covering the costs of airline and hotel expenses for the B Bops personnel providing this opening assistance.

This opening assistance is included in the initial franchise fee, meaning franchisees do not pay extra for this service beyond covering travel and lodging. The duration of the assistance, both before and after opening, provides a window for B Bops to help ensure a smooth launch. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors typically offer initial training and support to help new franchisees get started.

Prospective franchisees should factor in the cost of airline and hotel expenses for B Bops's representatives when budgeting for their initial investment. It is important to clarify with B Bops the number of representatives that will be providing assistance and to get an estimate of these travel and lodging costs to avoid unexpected expenses. Understanding the specific services provided during this opening assistance period is also crucial to ensure a successful launch.
