What terms does the development schedule supersede in the B Bops franchise agreement?

According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the development schedule outlined in the Development Agreement supersedes specific terms within the franchise agreement. Specifically, the development schedule takes precedence over the allowable time period for the construction and opening of any B Bops franchise developed under the Development Agreement.

For a multi-unit B Bops developer, this means that the construction and opening timelines specified in the Development Agreement are the controlling terms, not the standard franchise agreement. This is significant because the Development Agreement is tailored to the developer's specific expansion plans, potentially allowing for different construction and opening timelines than those in the standard franchise agreement.

This clause ensures that the Development Agreement, which is negotiated individually, takes precedence over the standard franchise agreement in regards to development timelines. Prospective B Bops franchisees should carefully review the development schedule within their Development Agreement to understand their obligations for opening new locations, as these timelines will override the standard franchise agreement terms.
