What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bambu will make the Training Program available to replacement or additional Bambu Certified Team Leaders during the term of the Franchise Agreement. However, Bambu reserves the right to charge a tuition or fee commensurate with their then-current published prices for such training, payable in advance. The franchisee is responsible for all travel, lodging, and meal expenses incurred by its personnel during the training program.
The availability of these training programs is subject to space considerations, training staff availability, and prior commitments to new Bambu franchisees. This means that while the training is offered, there's no guarantee it will be immediately accessible due to scheduling and resource constraints.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates that maintaining properly trained staff is crucial for the operation of the Bambu shoppe, and that the franchisee should budget for potential training costs for new or replacement team leaders. It also highlights the importance of planning ahead and communicating with Bambu to schedule training in advance to ensure availability.
