The course and all materials used in connection therewith are provided at the expense of the Company for up to two (2) persons. The Company will undertake to train additional persons for a fee agreed upon in advance between you and the Company.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company provides the training course and all materials at their expense for up to two people. If a franchisee wants to train additional people, B Bops will train them for a fee agreed upon in advance between the franchisee and B Bops. The franchisee is responsible for paying all compensation, travel, lodging, and other expenses incurred while they or their employees participate in the training course.
If a franchisee requests a refresher training course during the franchise term, B Bops will provide such training upon payment of a fee not to exceed $2,000. The material covered in a refresher training course will depend on the franchisee's needs as expressed to B Bops. If a franchisee hires a new manager during the franchise term, B Bops will provide an initial training course for the new manager upon payment of a fee not to exceed $2,000. This training course will be structured similarly and cover the same material as the training course provided before the franchise opened.
In either event of refresher training or initial training for a new manager, the franchisee will be responsible for paying all compensation, travel, lodging, and other expenses incurred while participating in the training course. This means that while B Bops does not explicitly limit the number of people they will train, franchisees should be aware of the additional costs associated with training more than two people initially or providing refresher training to existing staff or initial training to new managers.
