What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, when a franchise is transferred, Bambu will provide training for three representatives of the transferee at no additional charge. This is part of the transfer process, where the transferee does not have to pay an initial franchise fee. However, the transferor typically pays a transfer fee to Bambu.
This complimentary training for three representatives is a notable benefit for the new franchisee taking over an existing Bambu location. It helps ensure a smooth transition and adherence to Bambu's operational standards without incurring extra training costs upfront. This is a fairly standard practice in franchising, as franchisors want to ensure that new owners are properly trained to maintain brand consistency.
However, if the transferee requires training for more than three representatives, they will likely incur additional costs. Item 6 specifies that additional training is available at the then-current published rates, which are currently $900 per day plus travel-related expenses. Therefore, it is important for a prospective transferee to assess their training needs carefully to avoid unexpected expenses.
