What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to the 2024 Bombs Away Franchise Disclosure Document, Bombs Away does not approve a franchisee's site. The FDD states that Bombs Away does not assist franchisees in locating a site, negotiating the purchase or lease of the site, conforming the premises to local ordinances and building codes and obtaining any required permits, or constructing, remodeling, or decorating the premises.
This means that the franchisee is solely responsible for finding a location that meets their needs and complying with all local regulations. This could present a challenge for franchisees who are not familiar with the local real estate market or building codes. It is important for prospective franchisees to conduct thorough research and seek professional advice when selecting a site for their Bombs Away business.
While Bombs Away does not approve the site, they do offer other forms of assistance to franchisees before opening their business. This includes providing suggested staffing levels, guidelines for hiring employees, operational instructions, a list of specifications and approved suppliers for necessary equipment, access to Brand Standards, an initial training program, advice regarding the market introduction plan, and on-site opening support.
