How many Bobapop Tea Bar outlets there are, and how many closed
Bobapop Tea Bar ended 2024 with 6 franchised outlets and 1 company-owned outlet. In that year 1 franchised outlet opened and none left the system.
Three years at a glance
From 2022 through 2024, Bobapop Tea Bar opened 3 franchised outlets and no outlets left the system. That is a net gain of 3, from 3 to 6 franchised outlets.
With fewer than 10 outlets, one closure moves the numbers a lot, so we do not calculate a yearly rate.
Our arithmetic from the FDD's Item 20 table below. "Left the system" counts every outlet the franchisor reports as terminated, not renewed, bought back, or closed for other reasons.
