What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the proposed franchise registration is either on file or will shortly be on file in twelve states. These states are 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 within the state, while others do not. The fact that Bambu's registration is on file or will soon be on file in these particular states indicates that Bambu is taking the necessary steps to comply with the franchise laws of those states.
A prospective franchisee should confirm with Bambu whether the franchise is currently registered in their state and whether there are any specific requirements or addenda applicable to their state. Exhibit K of the FDD lists state agencies and agents for service of process, which can be a valuable resource for franchisees. Additionally, Exhibit L contains state addenda to the disclosure document, which may include specific regulations or modifications to the franchise agreement for certain states.
