What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a preassessment construction/remodeling review of your shoppe is scheduled after you sign your lease. This review is part of the consultation, onboarding, and opening support that Bambu provides.
Additionally, Bambu conducts a preassessment review of your shoppe approximately one to two weeks prior to your soft opening to determine if onsite training can be scheduled. If Bambu determines during the preassessment that the shoppe is not prepared for training and soft opening, they will reschedule the remainder of the training and charge you for the additional costs incurred for travel cancellation and other additional expenses.
Bambu also requires you to notify them when you have passed your Environmental Health Department Inspection, which typically takes place as the buildout of your Bambu shoppe nears completion. This notification allows them to schedule the opening training. Furthermore, Bambu will provide a written list of anything that must be done or changed before opening or promptly after opening during the preassessment review.
