B_Bops Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
B-Bop's Restaurants feature either one or two drive through service windows and a limited menu of food and beverage items, all designed to provide quick service to customers and accommodate a large customer count. While most customers will consume their B-Bop's food and beverages on an off-premises basis, each B-Bop's Restaurant includes a walk-up service window and outdoor eating facilities to accommodate on-premises consumption. The Company
has redesigned its building for use in some locations to include some indoor customer seating. Four of the existing B-Bop's Restaurants include indoor seating. The B-Bop's uniform limited menu currently features single and double hamburgers and cheeseburgers, pork loin fritters, chicken sandwiches, chili, sloppy joe sliders, french fries and beverages, including milk shakes and soft drinks. The physical layout of a B-Bop's Restaurant without indoor seating consists of a stylized building of approximately 1,000 square feet, either two drive through lanes which are served from opposite sides of the building or one drive through lane which is served from one side of the building, outdoor eating facilities and a limited parking area. As noted above, the Company has redesigned its building for use in some locations to include approximately 380 square feet of indoor seating which adds approximately 480 square feet to the building. The Company has the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether the building at a specific location will have one or two drive through lanes and whether it will include indoor seating.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, B Bops restaurants are designed with either one or two drive-through service windows. The physical layout of a standard B Bops restaurant, without indoor seating, includes either two drive-through lanes served from opposite sides of the building or one drive-through lane served from one side of the building. These restaurants typically occupy a stylized building of approximately 1,000 square feet, along with outdoor eating facilities and a limited parking area.
The decision to include one or two drive-through lanes at a specific B Bops location rests solely with the Company. This flexibility allows B Bops to tailor the restaurant design to the specific needs and characteristics of each location. Some locations also include indoor seating, which adds approximately 480 square feet to the building, bringing the total square footage to around 1,480 square feet.
For prospective franchisees, this means the initial design and layout of their B Bops restaurant, including the number of drive-through lanes, will be determined by the franchisor. Franchisees should discuss location-specific factors with B Bops to understand the rationale behind the drive-through lane configuration and how it aligns with the anticipated customer volume and local market conditions. Understanding these factors is crucial for optimizing restaurant efficiency and maximizing customer service.
