What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there were 10 company-owned B Bops outlets at the start of 2024. This information is derived from the Systemwide Outlet Summary table, which provides a breakdown of franchised and company-owned outlets from 2022 to 2024. The table shows the number of outlets at the start and end of each year, along with the net change.
Specifically, the data indicates that B Bops maintained a consistent number of company-owned outlets throughout 2023 and 2024. Starting with 10 company-owned outlets at the beginning of 2023, the number remained at 10 at the end of 2023, and also at the start and end of 2024. This suggests a period of stability in the company-owned operations of B Bops during these years.
In addition to the total number of company-owned locations, the FDD provides a breakdown by state. The state-level data shows that all company-owned B Bops restaurants are located in Iowa. At the start of 2024, there were 10 company-owned restaurants in Iowa, and this number remained constant throughout the year. This indicates that B Bops's company-owned presence is concentrated in Iowa, which may be a key market for the brand.
