Who is the manufacturer of the B Bops proprietary hamburger seasoning licensed by?

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company's proprietary hamburger seasoning will be produced by a manufacturer licensed by B Bops. Franchisees are required to purchase this seasoning from a food distributor chosen by B Bops.

This requirement ensures uniformity in the products offered at all B Bops locations, as the hamburger seasoning is a key ingredient in the standard B Bops Restaurant menu. While franchisees must use the specified seasoning, they do not have the freedom to choose their own supplier for this particular item; instead, they must use the distributor selected by B Bops.

This restriction is part of a broader set of purchase specifications that B Bops establishes to maintain consistency across all franchise locations. These specifications cover various items, including real estate, construction materials, equipment, signage, and inventories of food and beverage items. While franchisees can generally choose their own suppliers for items meeting B Bops' specifications, certain items like employee uniforms and products with the B Bops logo must be purchased from approved suppliers. The FDD does not list the manufacturer of the proprietary hamburger seasoning, only that it will be a manufacturer licensed by B Bops.
