What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 9 outlines the franchisee's obligations. Specifically, it details where these obligations are addressed within the Franchise Agreement and Multi-Unit Development Agreement.
For site selection, acquisition, and leasing, the Bambu franchisee's obligations are detailed in Sections 3.1, 5.1, and 5.2 of the Franchise Agreement. If the franchisee enters into a Multi-Unit Development Agreement, Section 3.3 of that agreement also applies. These sections of the agreements, along with Items 8 and 11 of the Disclosure Document, provide more detailed information regarding site selection and acquisition/leasing responsibilities.
This means that a prospective Bambu franchisee should carefully review these sections to understand their duties related to finding a suitable location, acquiring the property (either through purchase or lease), and ensuring the site meets Bambu's standards. Understanding these obligations is crucial as the location can significantly impact the success of the franchise.
