As noted in Item 6 of this disclosure document, you are required under the terms of the Franchise Agreement to pay the Company a monthly advertising fee equal to three percent (3%) of the gross sales of your Franchise.

Situations in which the Company is entitled to reimbursement for the performance of your obligations include, without limitation: (a) your failure to procure insurance coverage for the Franchise; (b) your failure to maintain the Franchise in a clean, safe and attractive condition; or (c) your failure upon termination or expiration of the Franchise Agreement to cease all display of the Licensed Marks or to make such modifications and alterations to the Franchise premises as may reasonably be necessary to effectively distinguish the Franchise premises from the appearance of a B-Bop's Restaurant.

  • E.

Franchisee pays to Company a nonrefundable renewal fee of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) payable in full upon execution of the then current franchise agreement;

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees can expect to pay several fees. The initial franchise fee is $30,000 if the franchisee does not already own a B Bops Restaurant, but it is $25,000 if they do. A monthly royalty and service fee of 5% of gross sales is also required.

B Bops franchisees must pay for equipment, fixtures, signage, supplies, and food and beverage products. Franchisees must also cover travel, lodging, and compensation for themselves and their employees while attending the training course. There is also a monthly advertising fee equal to 3% of gross sales, though B Bops may waive this fee. If additional training is needed, B Bops may charge a fee of up to $2,000.

Additional fees may arise if B Bops incurs costs to correct a franchisee's failure to maintain standards, such as insurance coverage or restaurant upkeep. If a franchisee renews their agreement, a $5,000 renewal fee is required. Understanding all potential fees is crucial for prospective franchisees to accurately assess the financial investment required to operate a B Bops franchise.
