What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company will notify a prospective franchisee in writing within 90 days of submitting the Application Agreement regarding its decision to grant a franchise. However, B Bops retains the discretion to extend this notification period. The FDD does not specify a maximum length for such an extension.
This means that while B Bops typically makes a decision within 90 days, it is possible for the process to take longer. The lack of a defined limit on the extension period introduces uncertainty for the applicant. The applicant may need to wait an indefinite amount of time to learn whether their application has been approved.
Prospective franchisees should be aware of this potential delay and factor it into their planning. It would be prudent to discuss the typical length of extensions, if any, with B Bops during the due diligence process. Understanding the reasons for potential delays and the likelihood of an extension can help the applicant make an informed decision.
