What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise registration is not currently effective in any states. The FDD indicates that the proposed registration is or will shortly be on file in California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
It is important to note that franchise registration requirements vary by state. Some states require franchisors to register their franchise offerings before they can be sold in the state, while others do not. The fact that Bambu's registration is not yet effective in any state could mean that the company is still in the process of completing the registration requirements, or it could mean that the company is not yet offering franchises in those states.
A prospective franchisee should confirm with Bambu the current registration status in their state and understand the implications for the timing of offering or sale of a franchise. They should also consult with a franchise attorney to ensure they understand the franchise laws in their state and how they apply to the Bambu franchise offering.
