What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company has the discretion to extend the notification period regarding the granting of development rights. Specifically, after submitting an Application Agreement and a $5,000 deposit for development rights, B Bops will notify the applicant in writing of its decision within ninety (90) days. However, this 90-day period can be extended at B Bops's discretion.
This means that a prospective franchisee seeking development rights for multiple B Bops locations may have to wait longer than the initial 90 days to receive a decision. The FDD does not specify the conditions under which B Bops might extend this period, nor does it state any limit to the extension.
It is important for potential franchisees to be aware of this flexibility, as it could impact their planning and timelines for developing multiple B Bops locations. If a franchisee needs a decision within a specific timeframe, they should discuss this with B Bops during the application process to understand the likelihood of an extension and its potential duration. This is a fairly common practice in franchising, as franchisors often need time to properly evaluate candidates for multi-unit development.
