Start-Up Period. The Company estimates that the approximate length of time between payment of the deposit and opening of the Franchise (assuming your application is approved) will be six (6) to twelve (12) months, and between execution of the Franchise Agreement and opening of the Franchise will be four (4) to nine (9) months, assuming in both cases that you promptly commence construction of the Franchise premises. The length of the start-up period is subject to variation, however, and the Company is consequently unable to provide any assurance that the Franchise will be open for business within the estimated period. Numerous factors affect the length of the start-up period, including, without limitation, the ability to locate and secure a satisfactory site through lease or purchase, obtaining acceptable financing, construction of the Franchise premises, obtaining building permits, complying with zoning and local ordinances and
delivery and installation of equipment, fixtures and signage. The Franchise premises is subject to inspection and approval by the Company prior to the commencement of operations. In the event the Company determines that construction of the Franchise premises has not proceeded in accordance with the Company's plans and specifications, the Company is entitled to delay the opening of the Franchise until such time as you have made the necessary corrections at your expense.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, B Bops does not provide any assurance that the franchise will be open for business within the estimated time frame. B Bops estimates that the time between the deposit payment and the franchise opening will be approximately six to twelve months, assuming the application is approved. The estimated time between the execution of the Franchise Agreement and the opening of the franchise is four to nine months, assuming construction begins promptly.
However, the document states that the length of the start-up period is subject to variation. Numerous factors can affect the length of the start-up period, including securing a suitable site, obtaining financing, construction of the premises, obtaining permits, complying with local ordinances, and the delivery and installation of equipment.
Because of these potential variations, B Bops cannot guarantee the franchise will open within the estimated time. Additionally, B Bops must inspect and approve the franchise premises before operations can begin. If construction does not follow B Bops' plans, B Bops can delay the opening until the franchisee makes the necessary corrections at their own expense.
