Not only are we discerning and passionate about what goes into our drinks, we take the same proactive approach in our franchisee partnerships. Simply put, we want the right fit for both of us.
As such, there are certain traits and financial requirements in considering potential partners that we attempt to discover through the application process. Our franchisees come from very diverse backgrounds, ages, and reasons for owning a Bambū. In some cases, you may be an active owner-operator, and in other cases, you may designate one or more people to run the day-to-day operations of your Bambū.
