Does the definition of 'Inputs' for a Bombs Away franchise include real estate?

According to Bombs Away's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the definition of "Inputs" does include real estate. Specifically, the franchise agreement defines "Input" as any goods, services, supplies, fixtures, equipment, inventory, computer hardware and software, real estate, or comparable items related to establishing or operating the Bombs Away business.

This means that when determining what supplies and services a franchisee needs to start and run the business, real estate is considered an input. This could refer to the physical location of the business, if applicable, or any land or buildings necessary for operations.

As a Bombs Away franchisee, understanding this definition is important because it clarifies that real estate, whether purchased or leased, falls under the umbrella of "Inputs." Bombs Away Franchising may require franchisees to purchase or lease any Inputs from Bombs Away Franchising, Bombs Away Franchising's designee, Required Vendors, Approved Vendors, and/or under Bombs Away Franchising's specifications. This means that Bombs Away could potentially dictate where a franchisee locates their business or from whom they lease or purchase property.
