Which fee will Bambu waive during the closure period of a relocated shoppe?

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee closes their existing shoppe while relocating, they will continue to be responsible for Royalty Fee payments during the closure period. However, Bambu will waive the Marketing and Technology Fee until the relocated Bambu shoppe has opened. This waiver provides some financial relief during the transition period.

This policy is important for prospective franchisees to consider, as relocation can be a costly endeavor. While the franchisee is still responsible for Royalty Fees, the waiver of the Marketing and Technology Fee can help offset some of the financial burden during the closure period. It is important to note that this waiver is only in effect until the relocated shoppe has opened, so franchisees should aim to minimize the closure period to maximize the benefit of the fee waiver.

Franchisors often have varying policies regarding fees during relocation. Some may offer more comprehensive waivers, while others may not offer any relief at all. Bambu's policy of waiving the Marketing and Technology Fee provides a moderate level of support to franchisees during relocation. Franchisees should carefully consider these policies when evaluating franchise opportunities, as they can significantly impact the overall cost of operating a franchise.
