What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there was one Bambu outlet operating in Virginia at the end of 2024. The table provided in Item 20 outlines the status of franchised outlets from 2022 to 2024. It includes details such as the number of outlets at the start of the year, outlets opened, terminations, non-renewals, outlets reacquired by the franchisor, outlets that ceased operations for other reasons, and the number of outlets at the end of the year.
Specifically for Virginia, the table shows that at the start of 2024, there were three outlets. No new outlets opened during the year, but two ceased operations for other reasons. This resulted in one Bambu location remaining open in Virginia at the close of 2024.
It is important to note that the FDD also mentions that a Bambu shop in Virginia closed in 2024 to relocate to a different location, with plans to reopen in 2025. This temporary closure did not result in the franchisee leaving the system. This information provides additional context to the outlet numbers, suggesting that the decrease in operational stores may be temporary and due to relocation rather than permanent closure.
