What This Means (2024 FDD)
According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, Bombs Away does not assist franchisees in locating a site for their business. Bombs Away also does not assist with negotiating the purchase or lease of the site, conforming the premises to local ordinances and building codes, obtaining required permits, or constructing, remodeling, or decorating the premises. Most importantly, Bombs Away does not approve the franchisee's site.
This means that the franchisee bears the full responsibility for finding a suitable location and ensuring it meets all legal and brand standards without direct approval from Bombs Away. This could present a risk to the franchisee, as they must conduct thorough due diligence to ensure the site is viable for a Bombs Away business.
Typically, many franchisors offer site selection assistance and approval as part of their pre-opening support. The fact that Bombs Away does not provide this service means prospective franchisees need to be particularly careful in their site selection process. They may want to seek advice from experienced real estate professionals or consultants familiar with the Bombs Away business model to mitigate potential risks.
