What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must obtain written consent from Bambu before relocating their franchised location. Upon approval of the new location, the franchisee is required to pay a relocation fee of $15,000. Bambu's approval of the new location will be based on factors similar to those used for the initial franchised location.
Upon payment of the relocation fee, Bambu will provide similar new shoppe operations support, including two site visits and three days of additional training support as determined by Bambu. This support aims to ensure the relocated Bambu shoppe maintains operational standards and brand consistency.
If the franchisee closes their existing Bambu shoppe during the relocation, they will still be responsible for Royalty Fee payments during the closure period. However, Bambu will waive the Marketing and Technology Fee until the relocated shoppe is opened. This waiver provides some financial relief during the transition period. This is a notable benefit, as many franchisors require all fees to be paid regardless of operational status.
