What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, South Dakota has franchise laws that require the Franchise Disclosure Document to be registered or filed with the state, or be exempt from registration.
The Bambu FDD states that the proposed registration is or will shortly be on file in several states, including California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
While South Dakota is listed among the states that require registration, filing, or exemption of a franchise, it is not included in the list of states where the proposed registration is or will shortly be on file. This implies that as of the date of the disclosure, Bambu's franchise registration status in South Dakota is not yet "on file" but it is a state that requires registration, filing, or exemption.
