When will Bambu conduct a preassessment review of my shoppe?
Bambu Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
We will conduct a preassessment review of your shoppe approximately one to two weeks prior to your soft opening to determine if onsite training can be scheduled. You must obtain our prior written approval before opening the shoppe. You must open the shoppe no later than one year after signing the Franchise Agreement unless we determine that circumstances warrant granting you an extension of time. In our preassessment review, we will provide you with a written list of anything that must be done or changed before opening or promptly after opening. You will not be permitted to open the shoppe until you have furnished the shoppe, purchased inventory, fully stocked the shoppe with menu items, and trained your employees. We reserve the right to perform a further walk-through of the location for your shoppe after you notify us that you are ready to open for business, at which time we may issue additional requirements for compliance before opening. You are deemed to have commenced operations and opened at the time that you have complied with all pre-opening obligations in the Franchise Agreement and your Bambū shoppe is first open to any paying customers.
