According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the end of 2023, there were zero company-owned Bambu outlets. The FDD indicates that at the start of 2023, there was one company-owned outlet, but it closed during the year, resulting in zero company-owned outlets by the end of 2023.

This information is relevant for prospective franchisees as it shows Bambu's operational strategy. Bambu primarily focuses on franchising rather than operating company-owned stores. This may indicate that Bambu's revenue and support structure are geared towards supporting franchisees rather than managing company-owned locations.

It is important to note that the one company-owned store was operated by an affiliate, Drinks of Denver, and was used as a test drive-thru model. Bambu does not directly own or operate any of its shoppes. This suggests that Bambu uses affiliate-owned stores for testing new concepts, which could benefit franchisees by validating new ideas before they are rolled out across the franchise system.
