What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to B Bops's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2023, there were a total of 12 B Bops outlets. This total is comprised of both franchised and company-owned locations. Specifically, there were 2 franchised outlets and 10 company-owned outlets.
It is important to note that there was no net change in the total number of B Bops outlets during 2023. This means that no new locations were opened, and no locations were closed during that year. This could indicate stability within the B Bops franchise system, but a prospective franchisee may want to inquire about the brand's growth strategy and future expansion plans.
For a prospective franchisee, understanding the distribution of franchised versus company-owned locations can provide insights into B Bops's business model. A higher proportion of company-owned stores might suggest that the franchisor prefers direct control over operations, while a greater number of franchised locations could indicate a focus on expanding through partnerships with franchisees. In B Bops's case, the majority of locations are company-owned.
