What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the costs for Other at Shoppe Location Trainings and Certifications are due as incurred. This means that the franchisee is responsible for payment at the time the expense is created or the service is provided.
The cost for these trainings and certifications is Bambu's then-current published rates, which are currently $900 per day, plus any travel-related expenses. These fees are payable only if the franchisee requests or Bambu requires additional training specific to the franchisee.
This type of fee structure, where payment is due as incurred, is common in franchising for services that are not part of the standard franchise package. It allows Bambu to charge franchisees only for the specific additional training they need, rather than including the cost in an upfront franchise fee. Franchisees should be aware of this potential expense and factor it into their budget if they anticipate needing additional training or if Bambu requires it.
