What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee is unable to maintain possession of the franchise premises or if both parties agree to relocate, the franchisee must secure an alternative site approved by B Bops. This new site must be developed according to B Bops's then-current standards and specifications.
This means that if a B Bops franchisee needs to relocate their restaurant at the time of renewal, they cannot simply move to any location. The new site must meet B Bops's approval, ensuring it aligns with the brand's image and operational requirements. Furthermore, the development of the relocated B Bops restaurant must adhere to the most up-to-date standards and specifications that B Bops is using for new franchises at that time.
B Bops is entitled to assess a reasonable charge to the franchisee for assistance in the relocation of the franchise premises, but this charge cannot exceed $2,000 and is in addition to the renewal fee. This fee covers B Bops's expenses in helping with the relocation process. This ensures that the relocated franchise aligns with the current brand standards, potentially requiring upgrades or changes to the restaurant's layout, design, or equipment.
