Has B Bops made any decisions concerning who will be responsible for developing and producing the advertising?

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, no decisions have been made regarding the party responsible for developing and producing advertising. However, B Bops will be responsible for developing and producing advertising materials to be made available to franchisees.

The advertising fees, if and when invoked, will be deposited into a special fund administered by B Bops to finance the development and production of advertising for the B Bops Restaurant system. B Bops will make all decisions regarding the content, concepts, materials, and media utilized in such advertising at its sole discretion. It is anticipated that advertising will be developed for dissemination over radio, television, and through print media.

Franchisees are responsible for the expense of disseminating the advertising, including all media, printing, and mailing expenses. The coverage of the advertising will likely be local in nature to directly benefit the franchise. B Bops Restaurants owned by B Bops will also be required to contribute to the advertising fund on the same basis and at the same rate as franchisees.

B Bops does not currently plan to have the advertising fund audited annually, but anticipates providing an annual report concerning receipts and expenditures by the fund to all franchisees. The company also states that it is not anticipated that B Bops or any affiliate will receive any payment for providing goods or services to the advertising fund and that the company will not use any portion of those fees to solicit new franchise sales.
