Answer from 2025 FDD Document

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

  1. GRANT AND ACCEPTANCE OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS. Company hereby grants to Developer, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the exclusive right to develop B-Bop's Restaurants in the Trade Area in compliance with the Development Schedule. Developer hereby agrees to develop, construct and open for business B-Bop's

pursuant to this Agreement. Developer agrees to submit a written report to Company of each proposed site for a Unit in the Trade Area, containing such information or material as Company may reasonably request. Company shall review the submitted materials, conduct such other investigation of the proposed site it determines may be necessary to properly evaluate the same and, in its sole discretion, either approve or reject such site by written notice to Developer within thirty (30) days after receipt of such materials, but such approval is not to be unreasonably withheld. If the proposed site is approved, the Company will also advise you, within the same thirty (30) day period, whether or not you will be required to include indoor seating in the construction and operation of the B-Bop's Restaurant. Developer agrees that Developer will not enter into any binding agreement with respect to lease or purchase of a proposed site prior to receiving Company's written approval of such site. Developer acknowledges and agrees that approval of a proposed site by Company does not constitute a representation or warranty by Company that such site, with or without indoor seating, will prove to be a successful location for the Unit, and Developer assumes all risks associated with establishing the Unit at such location.

    1. EXECUTION OF UNIT FRANCHISE AGREEMENT. Upon approval of a proposed site, Company shall grant Developer the right and license to own and operate a B-Bop's Restaurant at such site, provided that Developer is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of all Unit Franchise Agreements between the parties. Subject to the foregoing, Company shall forward to Developer a Unit Franchise Agreement to be executed with respect to the approved site. The Unit Franchise Agreement shall be the standard form of franchise agreement being utilized by Company to grant franchises at the time of development of each Unit. Developer shall execute the Unit Franchise Agreement in accordance with Company's instructions within twenty (20) days of receipt thereof and return it, together with the initial franchise fee payable for the Unit (as specified in Appendix III), to Company. In the event Developer fails to return the Unit Franchise Agreement and the initial franchise fee to Company within such twenty (20) day period, Company's approval of the site shall be null and void and Developer shall have no rights with respect to such site. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of the Unit Franchise Agreement executed for the Unit developed pursuant to this Agreement shall govern and control the franchise relationship for each such Unit, except to the extent that such terms and conditions conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, in which event the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties further acknowledge and agree that the terms and conditions of each Unit Franchise Agreement executed pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the expiration and termination of this Agreement.
    1. PROCUREMENT OF SITE AND CONSTRUCTION OF UNIT. Upon receipt of Company's approval of a proposed site, Developer shall immediately take the necessary steps to acquire the site (by purchase, lease or sublease) and obtain the rights to construct and operate a Unit on the site. As soon as practicable after procuring the site, Developer agrees to commence construction of the Unit in accordance with the terms of the Unit Franchise Agreement executed for such Unit, provided, however, that the Development Schedule imposed herein shall be in lieu of the terms of such Unit Franchise Agreement governing the time periods for construction and opening of the Unit.
  • A. Developer hereby agrees that during the term of this Agreement, Developer, its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, principals or agents will not, directly or indirectly, enter into or engage in any business the same as or substantially similar to a B-Bop's Restaurant, except for any Unit owned and operated by Developer pursuant to a Unit Franchise Agreement entered into between the parties hereto.

  • B. Developer hereby agrees that for a period of two (2) years immediately following the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Developer, its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, principals or agents will not, directly or indirectly, enter into or engage in any business the same as or substantially similar to a B-Bop's Restaurant operating at any location within the Trade Area or within a twenty (20) mile radius of any other B-Bop's Restaurant then in operation or under construction, whether owned and operated by Company, any affiliate of Company or by a franchisee under license granted by Company, except that Developer shall be entitled to continue to own and operate any Unit pursuant to a Unit Franchise Agreement entered into between the parties hereto.

Developer acknowledges that the rights and duties created pursuant to this Agreement are personal to Developer and its owners and that Company has granted the development rights in reliance upon the character, skill, business ability, financial capacity and attitude of Developer and its owners.

Therefore, without the prior written approval of Company, neither this Agreement nor the development rights (or any interest therein), nor any controlling ownership interest in Developer may be directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, sold, assigned, conveyed, sublet, subfranchised or otherwise transferred (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "transfer") to any person or entity.

    1. The undersigned persons hereby represent to B-Bop's Franchising Corp. ("Company") that they are partners or shareholders of the developer ("Developer") entering into the within and foregoing Multiple-Unit Development Agreement (the "Agreement"), of which this Personal Guaranty shall be deemed an integral part.
    1. In consideration of the development rights granted to Developer hereunder and in order to induce Company to grant such development rights to Developer, each of the undersigned hereby agrees, jointly, individually and severally, for themselves, their heirs, legal representatives and assigns as follows: (a) that they, and each of them, shall be personally bound by and agree to perform all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement; (b) that they, and each of them, do hereby personally and unconditionally guarantee full and prompt payment to Company of any indebtedness of Developer arising under or by virtue of this Agreement; (c) that they, and each of them, will not sell, assign or otherwise permit or cause a transfer of the development rights or any partnership or stock interest in Developer without complying with the requirements of Section 13 of the Agreement; (d) that they, and each of them, shall be personally bound by the nondisclosure and noncompete covenants of this Agreement; and (e) that they, and each of them, shall be personally liable for the breach of any provision of this Agreement,

What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a Developer is granted the exclusive right to develop B Bops Restaurants within a designated Trade Area, provided they adhere to the Development Schedule. The Developer is responsible for developing, constructing, and opening B Bops Restaurants in accordance with this schedule. Each restaurant must also comply with the terms and conditions outlined in B Bops's standard Unit Franchise Agreement, which the Developer must execute. The company commits not to establish or license any other party to establish a B Bops Restaurant in the Trade Area before the agreement's termination or expiration.

Site selection is a collaborative process. The Developer must submit a written report for each proposed site, including all information reasonably requested by B Bops. B Bops has the discretion to approve or reject the site within 30 days of receiving the materials; however, approval cannot be unreasonably withheld. If approved, B Bops will advise whether indoor seating is required. The Developer is prohibited from entering into any binding agreements for the lease or purchase of a site before receiving written approval from B Bops. It is important to note that B Bops's approval does not guarantee the site's success, and the Developer assumes all risks associated with the location.

Once a site is approved, the Developer must promptly acquire the site and obtain the necessary rights to construct and operate a B Bops restaurant. Construction should begin as soon as practicable, following the terms of the Unit Franchise Agreement. However, the Development Schedule takes precedence over the Unit Franchise Agreement regarding construction and opening timelines. The Developer is restricted from engaging in any business similar to a B Bops Restaurant during the agreement's term, except for units owned under a Unit Franchise Agreement. This restriction extends for two years post-termination within the Trade Area or a 20-mile radius of any B Bops Restaurant, but does not prevent the Developer from continuing to operate existing units under a Unit Franchise Agreement.

The rights and duties under the Development Agreement are personal to the Developer, and the development rights cannot be transferred without B Bops's prior written approval. The individuals guaranteeing the agreement must also adhere to these conditions, including non-disclosure and non-compete covenants. Upon termination or expiration of the agreement, the development rights become void, and the Developer must cease any further site development attempts. However, the Developer retains the right to operate units under existing Unit Franchise Agreements, unless those agreements are terminated. B Bops is entitled to retain any unapplied development fees and can establish or license others to establish B Bops Restaurants in the Trade Area, subject to the terms of any existing Unit Franchise Agreements.
