What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Project Manual contains the plans and specifications for constructing the franchise premises. B Bops will provide this manual to the franchisee. The Project Manual, including the plans and specifications, remains the exclusive property of B Bops.
After the construction of the franchise premises is complete, the franchisee is required to return the Project Manual to B Bops. Any modifications to the Project Manual, including the plans and specifications, require the consent of B Bops. Furthermore, if the franchisee or someone else makes modifications, they must assign their rights to the modified Project Manual back to B Bops.
Prospective franchisees should understand that they do not own the construction plans and cannot alter them without permission from B Bops. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as it allows the franchisor to maintain uniformity and quality control across all locations. Franchisees need to factor in the cost and time required to obtain approval for any desired changes to the standard plans.
