What This Means (2025 FDD)
Based on the 2025 Bambu Franchise Disclosure Document, Exhibit K contains a list of state agencies or agents designated to receive service of process. Bambu authorizes the parties listed in Exhibit K to receive service of process on its behalf in each specified state. However, the excerpt does not specifically name the designated officer or agent for service of process in Indiana.
For a prospective Bambu franchisee, this means the FDD acknowledges that Bambu appoints agents for service of process in states where required by franchise laws, and that these agents are listed in Exhibit K. However, without reviewing Exhibit K, it's impossible to know who is authorized to receive service of process for Bambu in Indiana.
Therefore, a potential franchisee should carefully review Exhibit K of the 2025 FDD to identify the specific agent designated for service of process in Indiana. If Indiana is not listed, they should inquire with Bambu Franchising LLC about who is authorized to receive service of process in that state.
