B_Bops Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
If, during the term of Franchise, you request a refresher training course, the Company will provide such training upon the payment of a fee not to exceed $2,000. The material to be covered in a refresher training course will depend on your needs as expressed to the Company. In addition, if you hire a new manager during the term of the Franchise, the Company will provide an initial training course for such manager, upon payment of a fee not to exceed $2,000. Such training course will be structured in the same manner and cover the same material as the training course provided prior to the opening of the Franchise as described above. You will, in either event, be responsible for paying all compensation, travel, lodging and other expenses incurred while participating in either a refresher-training course or an initial training course for a new manager.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, B Bops may charge up to $2,000 for additional training. This fee applies both to refresher training courses requested by the franchisee and to the initial training of a new manager hired during the franchise term.
It is important to note that this $2,000 fee covers only the training itself. The franchisee is separately responsible for covering all compensation, travel, lodging, and other expenses incurred by themselves or their employees while participating in the training. This means the total cost of additional training could significantly exceed $2,000 when these additional expenses are factored in.
This type of fee structure for additional training is fairly common in franchising. It allows B Bops to recoup some of the costs associated with providing ongoing support and training, while also ensuring that franchisees have access to the resources they need to maintain the quality and consistency of their operations. Prospective franchisees should budget for these potential additional training costs and factor them into their overall financial projections.
