What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee has the option to create and implement their own advertising or promotional campaigns. However, before a B Bops franchisee can implement any advertising or promotional campaigns they develop themselves, they must first submit the campaign to B Bops for written approval.
This requirement ensures that all advertising aligns with the brand's standards and image. It also allows B Bops to maintain consistency in its marketing efforts across all franchise locations.
In addition to seeking approval for independent advertising, B Bops franchisees are required to spend at least 2% of their gross sales on independent advertising each calendar quarter. This expenditure is separate from any advertising fees paid directly to B Bops. Franchisees must also provide a report detailing all independent advertising expenditures, along with supporting invoices, when requested by B Bops.
