What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bambu retains the right to revise or delete any of the FRC (Franchise Resource Center) Materials as it deems necessary. These revisions or deletions can be made to update or change operating and marketing techniques, standards, and specifications. This means that Bambu can modify the rules and guidelines for running the franchise as they see fit.
Upon receiving updated information, franchisees are required to update their copy of the FRC Materials as instructed by Bambu. Franchisees must also ensure their operations conform to the updated provisions within 10 days of receiving each update. This places a responsibility on the franchisee to stay informed and quickly adapt to any changes Bambu implements.
In case of any disagreement regarding the content of the FRC Materials, the master copy maintained by Bambu at its principal office or on its website will be considered the controlling document. Furthermore, any standards, specifications, or changes communicated via SMS (small message service) are also considered part of the FRC Materials, and franchisees are required to comply with them.
For franchisees in New York, any new or different requirement set forth in the FRC Materials shall not unreasonably increase the franchisee's obligations or place an excessive burden on the franchisee's operation of its Bambu shoppe.
