What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the initial deposit amount for the Application Agreement is either $5,000 or $2,500, depending on whether the company grants you development rights or franchise rights.
If B Bops terminates the Application Agreement without cause, the franchisee is entitled to a refund equal to the deposit amount ($2,500) minus the lesser of $2,000 or the actual expenses incurred by B Bops, as outlined in the Application Agreement. If the franchisee terminates the agreement, they are entitled to the amount of the deposit ($5,000) minus the lesser of $4,500 or the actual expenses incurred by the company.
This deposit secures the potential franchisee's interest in obtaining development or franchise rights. However, the franchisee risks losing a portion of this deposit to cover B Bops's expenses if the deal does not proceed. It is important for prospective franchisees to understand the conditions under which the deposit may be partially or fully retained by B Bops.
