SINGLE-UNIT ARRANGEMENT
2 If you are purchasing one Franchise under the Company's single-unit arrangement, the obligations imposed by the Application Agreement and Franchise Agreement will be applicable to you. The obligations imposed by the Development Agreement are applicable only if you have purchased multiple-unit development rights from the Company.
Except as listed below, the Company is not required to provide you with any assistance.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Development Agreement typically does not apply when purchasing a single franchise unit. The document specifies that if a franchisee is purchasing only one B Bops franchise under the single-unit arrangement, the obligations outlined in the Application Agreement and Franchise Agreement are the ones that will be applicable.
The Development Agreement becomes relevant only when a franchisee purchases multiple-unit development rights from B Bops. This distinction is important for prospective franchisees to understand, as it clarifies which set of obligations and requirements they will be subject to based on the scope of their investment.
For a single-unit franchisee, B Bops is not required to provide any assistance beyond what is listed in the Franchise Agreement. This means that the pre-opening obligations and ongoing support will be different for single-unit versus multiple-unit franchisees, with the latter typically receiving more extensive assistance related to site selection and development.
