What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, no officer of Bambu owns any interest in any of its approved or designated suppliers or distributors. Bambu maintains a list of approved suppliers from which franchisees must purchase all products, including raw and prepared ingredients, food items, shoppe supplies, and programs offered. These designated suppliers may vary depending on the location of the franchisee's business.

Bambu also reserves the right to designate a single approved supplier or distributor, including themselves or their affiliates, for any items required for the operation of the Bambu shoppe. However, as of the FDD date, neither Bambu nor its affiliates are designated as the single approved supplier for any items. Bambu facilitates the ordering and payment process with one of its designated suppliers.

This arrangement ensures that franchisees maintain the quality and uniformity of Bambu products. While Bambu aims to assist franchisees in the supply chain, it is crucial for prospective franchisees to stay informed about any potential changes to designated suppliers, as Bambu reserves the right to modify these arrangements. Franchisees are also required to execute any agreements reasonably required by a designated supplier or distributor and establish appropriate credit terms with them.
